Hi! Ref. item 9 on <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Meeting/20070813>, here is a update proposal for the stable release.
I propose to update the version of xdebconfigurator in the stable repository from 1.29 to 1.30. This solves problems on many thin clients which doesn't support more than 1024x768, and the default in the old xdebconfigurator was 1152x864. The important change between these versions is removing 1152x864 from the default modes-list, and let the highest resolution be 1024x768. Here is the diff -r output between the two versions: diff -ruN xdebconfigurator-1.29/debian/changelog xdebconfigurator-1.30/debian/changelog --- xdebconfigurator-1.29/debian/changelog 2007-07-15 18:20:18.000000000 +0200 +++ xdebconfigurator-1.30/debian/changelog 2007-11-03 16:52:34.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,3 +1,24 @@ +xdebconfigurator (1.30) unstable; urgency=low + + [ Morten Werner Forsbring ] + * Remove 1152x864 from default modeline as this is not a good default + for 15" monitors. + * Bumped version number in man-page. + * Changed my name. + + [ Steffen Joeris ] + * Include updated Portuguese debconf translation (Closes: #426455) + Thanks to Rui Branco + + [ Luk Claes ] + * Removed myself from uploaders. + + [ Petter Reinholdtsen ] + * Report source of monitor mode. + * Stop using read-edid by default. + + -- Morten Werner Forsbring <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sat, 03 Nov 2007 16:49:50 +0100 + xdebconfigurator (1.29) unstable; urgency=low * Fix the mouse protocol to ImPS/2 if the mouse device is the diff -ruN xdebconfigurator-1.29/debian/control xdebconfigurator-1.30/debian/control --- xdebconfigurator-1.29/debian/control 2007-03-16 19:49:32.000000000 +0100 +++ xdebconfigurator-1.30/debian/control 2007-11-03 16:52:34.000000000 +0100 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ Section: x11 Priority: optional Maintainer: Debian Edu Developers <[email protected]> -Uploaders: Petter Reinholdtsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Andreas Schuldei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Morten Werner Olsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Luk Claes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Steffen Joeris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +Uploaders: Petter Reinholdtsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Andreas Schuldei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Morten Werner Forsbring <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Steffen Joeris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4) Standards-Version: 3.7.2 diff -ruN xdebconfigurator-1.29/debian/po/pt.po xdebconfigurator-1.30/debian/po/pt.po --- xdebconfigurator-1.29/debian/po/pt.po 2005-08-21 23:58:51.000000000 +0200 +++ xdebconfigurator-1.30/debian/po/pt.po 2007-11-03 16:52:34.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,19 +1,22 @@ -# Portuguese translation of xdebconfigurator for the D-I -# 2004, Miguel Figueiredo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +# Portuguese translation for xdebconfigurator debconf messages. +# Copyright (C) 2007 Pedro Ribeiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +# This file is distributed under the same license as the xdebconfigurator package. +# Pedro Ribeiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 2007 +# msgid "" msgstr "" -"Project-Id-Version: xdebconfigurator\n" +"Project-Id-Version: xdebconfigurator 1.28\n" "Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n" -"POT-Creation-Date: 2004-10-23 11:32+0200\n" -"PO-Revision-Date: 2004-10-19 20:29+0000\n" -"Last-Translator: Niguel Figueiredo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n" +"POT-Creation-Date: 2007-01-13 20:31+0100\n" +"PO-Revision-Date: 2007-05-25 22:08+0100\n" +"Last-Translator: Pedro Ribeiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n" "Language-Team: Portuguese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n" "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" -"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n" +"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n" "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" #.
