Development Meeting in the course of WorkSessionsExtremadura2007

The FAI development team would like to help get the Extremadura Custom Distribution installed with FAI. We'd like to go there and check:

  • Does GnuLinex have an own Binary Repository, so is the whole distribution a Debian which is recompiled from source and some stuff added/changed, or is it only Debian Etch Binaries with some additional packages and configurations?

    • if the first (own binary versions): how is the base system bootstrapped, what else is needed to get it installed?
    • If the latter: what makes the Gnulinex distribution special (or: what is needed to make a Debian Install a Gnulinex install)

This information is all it needs to create a basic FAI configuration to install Gnulinex. Some testing and and tinkering will surely be necessray to get this running nice, but it should be possible to get this going in a long weekend.

Then, when we get there fast enough, we can also give some training/introduction for gnulinex/Extremadura people on the general use of FAI - together with the previously created config they shoud then be able to add their specific configs and special systemtypes, and get their systems installed automatically in a flexible way.

  • people interested in joining this effort:
    • Thomas Lange (main FAI developer)

    • HenningSprang (Co-developer, wants to work on FAI Gnulinex installs, if that isn't possible FAI GUI, Configspace Hirarchy, automated testing with crucible)

    • HolgerLevsen (Co-developer, plans to work on FAI guide translation infrastructure and FAI support for debian-edu (?LinEx), git and rpm)

    • KurtGramlich (skolelinux.de)

    • Christoffer Kugg Jerkeby (Contributor)
    • Richard Wonka (Contributor)

    • Wolfgang Rohrmoser (developer of http://livebackup.sourceforge.net/)

    • Henning Glawe (Co-developer)

(BTW: not everybody will work on Gnulinex Installation - see the work topics for each person - the requirement to attend the meeting is for people to work on FAI related things)
