-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello,
=== What was done engineering wise? === * Good cleanup and rework of maintainer scripts in edubuntu-artwork to better handle unity-greeter and avoid configuration prompt when upgrading from 11.10 * New version of epoptes, our classroom management tool, uploaded to Debian and synced into Ubuntu. It brings support for grouping clients, a few bugfixes including an issue with its SSL certificates validity period (was only 1 month) and updated translations. * Alkis also documented the reason for requiring x11vnc and vnc4 in Edubuntu for the LTS including a comparison with the alternatives: http://www.epoptes.org/documentation/vnc === What's about to land that might impact the other teams? === * LTSP... one day... for sure before Feature Freeze... === Release Notes === * None === Summary of bugs working on by team (reasonably reliable) === * None. === Dependencies on other teams, blocking items? === * None. === Issues? === Handling of unity-greeter's configuration for flavours is kind of difficult because we can't modify it from our packages without creating a huge mess (like I did for Edubuntu's ...) and diverting conffiles seems to be giving interesting results. After discussing the issue with Michael Terry on IRC, the conclusion was to investigate porting unity-greeter to gsettings which is easier for flavours to override without touching a conffile. In case it's interesting for someone else, here's what Edubuntu is currently doing to workaround the problem: 1) Ship /etc/lightdm/edubuntu-greeter.conf in edubuntu-artwork 2) In edubuntu-artwork's preinst, divert unity-greeter.conf to unity-greeter.conf.orig and install a symlink from unity-greeter.conf to edubuntu-greeter.conf 3) In edubuntu-artwork's postrm, remove the symlink and remove the diversion This has the advantage of not messing with unity-greeter's conffile while still shipping our settings as a conffile. For the record, here's the dpkg issue I found on the subject: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=363524 Hopefully we can switch our settings to a gsettings override file for 12.04 and avoid these hacks. - -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJPGKpZAAoJEMY4l01keS1nHUAP/jjG9PRn6kEDXfEBGrHr7Sj7 9TQGfUkeVjMHyWYUTRNdiIfpTiiTvlpAFcG8pkPdF7IHad69WdTcPaO9whLZ6zY6 TJ5UwOCWSCVPgaFDc0qf0qWx41gAG+8mW69Ltju5kXWVl1VfEab+4RirP7quD1g7 DlOMB3LXV5ZjldywEYsxgxWJMINsIpaX56rxvGf9Ut0CHzCDus6ZP9Q9W4nXcoAj z2nB2MUo+fTfglkM8AvnYbF962RqE+wUZlAQKhdnAI4NLdG0wzva86/kmvTzucmR KG0Y6FmapkPnRCy1Py5uFDyn+1G5IcsrMl1Rp4uxGBKBMYT+kcOBq6xq0BLNdJ4O x9hqxSKHeIMqFYo+XWN5Jnpjezg/3S+ixV3eDjbNSugotvJly2xKNutDT3t9MbkL 7EVF9OoBoy1C8oJoU1gOws/CUHD8QjR2M5TL1XZLjR1563hHuUSHl7tdzrSbmo25 +smuu5g057aH5cVpe/E4eroVyyRmkg/qsYcZOImqw+TQ1NtlGnJysOTdzX5eq8BE NOnnvKFmvhqV0U0upKeb4BlSv7WgjKoMVtR6gDysok7t/HfdBsRicXtltPXPNNQw liOdVkKftwfS/wR5HG4A8xKnLEHtT3sUr0nWbniTY+zUpz7fqiLSXaH5Ca+hy1tH D2l9uhXXqDCLuZOO0kvf =SK+p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-release mailing list Ubuntu-release@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
