 * Kerberos/LDAP startup with systemd is unreliable (DebianBug:758992)
 * Automatic proxy configuration fail because WPAD is ignored by the proxy command (DebianBug:644373)
 * Automatic partitioning fail when reinstalling, because partman refuses to "reuse" swap partition in LVM (DebianBug:757818)

Status of Debian Edu "Jessie"

Known problems we want to fix

  • the jessie manual is missing.
  • ldap-client: Not only one PAM module of krb5, ldap and sss is enabled
  • postoffice: postoffice service is not listening on imaps/tcp (conf file needs to be adjusted).
  • Kerberos/LDAP startup with systemd is unreliable (758992)

  • Automatic proxy configuration fail because WPAD is ignored by the proxy command (644373)

  • Automatic partitioning fail when reinstalling, because partman refuses to "reuse" swap partition in LVM (757818)

Known problems, unlikely to be fixed

Fixed in git (hopefully)

  • Samba/LDAP setup fails due to a failure reading SAMBASID during bootstrap.
  • The cups management site 'www:631' doesn't work.
  • krb5kdc is not running.
  • kadmind is not running.
  • Kerberos service is not listening on kerberos/udp.
  • Kerberos service is not listening on kpasswd/tcp.
  • Kerberos service is not listening on kerberos-adm/tcp.
  • getent failed to find file group 'students'.
  • samba: missing Domain Admins in samba groupmap.
  • webcache: squid is not running.

Fixed in unstable

  • www/sitesummary doesn't work
  • Unable to find /usr/bin/rpcinfo
  • pxeinstall: Unable to find PXE file /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0

Fixed + done

Further ideas

Mostly stuff for Jessie (the release after Wheezy)

  • make it easier to use another, already existing, directory server, be it LDAP or AD.
  • Include FAI to easily install customized machines (Skolelinux RLP and Musterösung BW use Images (why?), can we do something comparable with FAI?
  • Make the installer more flexible. Make it possible to choose KDE/GNOME/all educational packages/Debian default. (Waiting several hours installing Tjener+LTSP seems to scare away testers and developers).
  • Continue cleanup. What is left back in our d-e-packages that's not needed anymore? Strip down things to the necessary, we are not able to maintain more. What can and should be addressed in Debian?
  • Preconfigured LXDE by default as Thin-Client?
  • Preconfigured educational desktop (if chosen in the installer).
  • Make it possible to choose LTSP chroot arch (i386/amd64)
