Status of packages which should go into 3.0 r2

Sometime in the future, a r2 Etch release of Debian will happen, with updated kernel and installer. It will probably make sense to release a Debian Edu r2 after that as well, with as little updates as possible, so we can concentrate on working on Lenny.

Package

version in debian-edu etch

proposed for 3.0r2

Status / comments (from whom)

debian-edu-install

h01ger is not sure if it should be updated, but if so, the etch branch should be created from r40061 and r40138 should be included in the upload

A full list of all packages differences between etch and etch-test is available.

Known bugs

This is a list of known bugs in the Etch-based DebianEdu, and please provide links to the bugs in the Debian BTS or the DebianEdu Bugzilla.

Fatal (can't make test CD with these)

Important (need to fix before release)

Annoying (should fix if we have time)

things we need to document in the new etch release manual

h01ger suggest to just drop these two things. Sound should be working fine and that other hint is way to broad. - Objections? Otherwise I'll do so...

Fixed

  • The etch-dvd build is not using our local repository for udebs. The localization-config-udeb package is missing on that DVD.
  • usplash terminates tool early during boot, when the inti.d/console-screen.sh screen update the console font. A fixed version is in the etch-test respository.(#423025)

  • wrong keyboard layout on tjener, #1131

  • Wrong keyboard layout in LTSP. Fixed (in debian-edu etch-test) by patching ltsp-client-builder with fix from bts bug #421762.

  • etch-cd from 2006-11-16 partitioning doesnt work, loops forever, etch-test works.
  • Access to local devices for the console user (audio, floppy, etc)
  • CD image do not install because of kernel version skew between the kernel and the module udebs on the CD.
  • Fail to install on a HD where lvm have been used previously, this is fixed in D-I daily builds from sid (Verified 16/10-2006 -Ronny). Migrated to etch 20/10-2006
  • LTSP artwork -> added to ltsp preseed, ldm artwork ok.

  • Broken LTSP boot, first client attempth fail to boot, after server is restarted - fixed in initramfs-tools 0.82.
  • Wrong keyboard layout in some countries. #319859

  • usplash in ltsp booting clients.
  • slapd fail to start because /var/run/slapd is missing. It need to be owned by openldap:openldap.
  • Unstable CD build, no longer build broken CD when unable to reach the apt sources.
  • Installer fail if running in GUI mode #282147

  • LDAP NSS is broken #375077 We have a workaround in the current cd's.

  • Package manager (adept) for KDE is missing in etch #388023

  • Graphical Installer fails to work while installing with nogui works as expected
  • standalone install is not localised. i.e., I selected german and KDE is still english #1127

  • USB hotplug no longer work after KDE switched from pmount to hal. bug #377689 see also pam_group info. This might be fixed 2007-05-05, but someone with a real test machien need to test and verify it.

  • Adding windows machines to samba is broken #1177

  • Adept_notifier runs on all users kde on the thinclients. #1151

  • firefox localisation problem, see #1045

Please fill in with more info and links to the BTS's in the list above. :)
