I've fixed a few minor usability issues today, but nothing big.

The only privileged operation is copying the images, I believe. <h01ger> that one <pere> do you have your ssh key in ~builder/.ssh/authorized_keys? <pere> anyway, these are details. the most work with releasing are fixing the release notes and testing the image. <pere> if we release tomorrow, we need to move packages to etch tonight or very early tomorrow. any ftpmaster around that can promise to handle that? * h01ger **minutes http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/PressReleases/PressRelease_DebianEdu-3.0_Terra still has some fixmes and http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/ReleaseNotes_3.0_Terra is still empty (and http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/ReleaseNotes has too much information...) * h01ger should be able to move tonite or tomorrow.. <h01ger> though probably^w not before 10am... <pere> I've updated the rc5 release notes, but believe someone need to start writing the major release release notes soon. <h01ger> yup. see minutes :) <pere> akai said the press package should be done by tomorrow. <h01ger> should i just move "everything" (except gnash+multiseat) from etch-test to etch after the meeting? /me looks at needs_love.html <pere> yes. <h01ger> ok, will do <h01ger> after the minutes :-P * h01ger **minutes h01ger will push "everything" (except gnash+multiseat) from etch-test to etch after the meeting <pere> h01ger: yeah, please wait with d-e-c and d-e-i until at least one successful install is reported. <klausade> pere: installed main-server without a problem from the dvd where ltsp-server didn't install (#1229). Was that to be expected? <pere> klausade: not really. I believe I broke all profiles. :) * h01ger **minutes except d-e-c and d-e-i - ping h01ger if you successfully installed from etch-test, then he will move that too <pere> klausade: a complete install log is interesting. <klausade> pere: have you seen that the screen goes black with just a blinking cursor up in the left corner while testsuit runs on another terminal? <pere> klausade: yes. that is by design. the alternative was worse. :) <h01ger> heh <klausade> pere: ok. <pere> ok. anything more to say on the release notes and press release? --- pere has changed the topic to: Meeting in progress, topic: 2.4.

State of the release - anything else? | Agenda at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Meeting <h01ger> should i "rename" the release versionnumber to 4.0 tonite? as discussed yesterday? <akai> i have no problem with that, as long as it doesnt break anything <pere> if that is do be done, it should happen tonight, yes. <akai> we're certain that there is no "funny" checks for such things? <pere> akai: nope, as lsb-release obviously was using that number. <pere> h01ger: did you figure out where to change it? <h01ger> pere, nope as in we're not certain or as in we're certain? <pere> nope, as in I am not certain. :) <h01ger> pere, i have been working on a longish grep+pipe command, yes <h01ger> pere, ok :) <pere> h01ger: is the number fetched from the CD version string or somewhere else? <h01ger> which. ours? the debian-installer has 4.0 in yaboot.conf and elsewhere i believe, as we dont change d-i's initrd.. <pere> I am not aware of anything in our scripts using our version for anything except reporting. <h01ger> cool <h01ger> i'll do it after minutes+moving packages and then we can see if/what breaks :) <pere> h01ger: yes, ours. If we do not know the source of the problematic version number, it is hard to know that we are changing the right location. And I would recommend against a global sed until we know. <h01ger> pere, i'm not planing a global sed... even with lots of pipes too many false positives.. <akai> are we preparing for release tomorrow morning then? or tonight? <pere> h01ger: but you do not know where the number come from? <h01ger> akai, tomorrow <akai> ok <pere> akai: rc5 tomorrow, that is. <h01ger> pere, i suspect so <akai> then i'll be a bit social here, finish up the notes and press-package tonight and post it on d-e@l.d.o for review before release :) <h01ger> akai, i've also send you a mail asking you to do QA and go thru all prio3 bugs... so the release is very near but not there yet <akai> please do call me if important :) <akai> h01ger: saw <akai> i'll look at it <pere> akai: I suspect we can do the final release this weekend, if rc5 prove to work as it should. * h01ger **minutes h01ger will replace the debian-edu version number from 3.0 to 4.0 <akai> pere: fine :) * akai afk <h01ger> akai, do you have time for that? <h01ger> (checking the p3 bugs..)( <h01ger> next topic? <h01ger> 7min left :) --- pere has changed the topic to: Meeting in progress, topic: 3. Documentation| Agenda at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Meeting <h01ger> "lynx --dump http://wiki.skolelinux.no/DebianEdu/Documentation/Etch/AllInOne|grep -i fixme |wc" gives 18 FIXMEs... <h01ger> but we're getting there and can update it later <pere> do we release with fixmes? <h01ger> i suspect/would say so <h01ger> of course, it would be great, not to <pere> anyone got time to make screenshots for the installation runthrought? * h01ger thinks thats (one of the) least important from the FIXMEs <pere> how many, and from which part of the installer? I suspect the screens will not change. <h01ger> we have more basic stuff not covered, though screenshots look nice <pere> which reminds me, will the PDF generation handle images? <h01ger> pere, each with questions and some (fancy) others <h01ger> pere, it should (theoretically it does for sure), havent checked yet <pere> I suspect not, as we only download the xml, and none of the images. <h01ger> then we need to fix/extend our scripts <pere> yes. <h01ger> do we release with fixmes? <pere> I am fine with releaseing with fixmes. <h01ger> we could say "no" and rename some to FIXMELATER ;) <pere> it would be great to release without them, but we only have the amount of people we do, and can not wait for more. :) <h01ger> which would be p2/p3 for documentation... <h01ger> right. so lets release with fixmes <h01ger> this should be mentioned in the release notes, though.. * h01ger **minutes #3: we will release with FIXMEs in the documentation <pere> yes. we should probably focus on the doc after the release, to make it great for r1. <pere> more on documentation? * h01ger **minutes #3 we will mention this in the release notes, though.. --- pere has changed the topic to: Meeting in progress, topic: 4. Next meeting | Agenda at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Meeting <h01ger> wait <h01ger> one thing <h01ger> kursdok and (new)driftbook <h01ger> has kursdok been replaced by itil? <pere> there seem to be quite a lot of confusion. I suggest we just include both, and wait for complaints. <h01ger> or we drop both and wait for complaints <pere> h01ger: nope, the itil book is not a replacement for kursdok, I believe. <h01ger> this would make the source package a lot saner <h01ger> pere, ack <pere> no-one will miss stuff they are not aware of, so dropping will not generate complaints. :) <pere> ok, next meeting. when should it be? <klausade> pere: you are right, itil is not a replacement for kursdok. <winnie> pere: this weekend? * pere find the entire documentation situation confusing, and hope someone else will spend time on figuring it out. :) <pere> when is the german jungstermeeting starting? <pere> and who is going there. I am not, as I stay in Oslo. <winnie> i think this weekend <winnie> but i won't be there <pere> sunday around 12:00 would be fine, to decide if we make the release or not. <h01ger> pere, i spend quite some time on figuring it out. i think i'm now in favor of removing it and giving links/information about those old documents in README.debian. <h01ger> wouldnt saturday be better? <pere> h01ger: for documentation, I am fine with anything you guys decide. <h01ger> so we can work on it on saturday evening / sunday <pere> h01ger: not for me. <h01ger> pere, ah :) <pere> h01ger: we can work outside meetings. :) <pere> and we need to work independent of the meetings. <pere> akai, are you available this weekned? * h01ger **minutes #3 remove kursdok and driftbook and give links/information about those old documents in README.debian. <h01ger> pere, sure. after meetings even. but we need to decide that we want to work^wrelease :) <pere> h01ger: actually, do not make links in README.Debian, make links from the nb/ directory, to make it easier to find. <h01ger> but then, deciding on sunday and releasing+announcing on monday also works, maybe even better , because on mondays the press also works :) <pere> I guess some index.html or something like that should be generated for the <langcode>/ directories. <h01ger> pere, hmm, later yes, probably. taht is, no. shouldnt apache autoindex those dirs? <pere> h01ger: I see more a meeting on sunday as a turning point, were we deside if we go on or abort the release for sunday. <pere> h01ger: it does, but my point is that the links to those docs should be as easy to find as the local doc. * h01ger suggest 12 UTC then :) <h01ger> pere, ok, noted in todo <pere> sunday 2007-07-22 12:00 UTC it is. see you all ther.e <pere> thank you all for joining the meeting. <pere> it is now closed. * h01ger thanks too :) * pere heads for the movies.
