A while now, the usplash artwork haven't been working. The reason is that usplash changed its format, and the debian-edu-artwork package had to be adjusted for this. This evening, I rewrote the build system based on the build rules in usplash-theme-debian, to get our usplash package working with newer usplash.
Unfortunately, the new build system do not use the same input as the old ones. The old one used a PNG image as its input for the background, while the new one uses a SVG image for the background and a transparent PNG representing the progress bar. The end result is that we need new artwork for the usplash screen. The current one is a copy of the artwork in usplash-theme-debian. Anyone up for the job? We could use the same graphic for the usplash and kdm images, to allow the machine to display almost the same image all the way though the boot, or we can try to convert the old earth by night image into an SVG. I leave those decisions to those that do the work. I assume inkscape can be used to make the SVG and gimp can be used to make the PNG. Make sure to provide the gimp "source" to allow modifications later. Any volunteers to fix the artwork for usplash? The code is in svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-edu/trunk/src/debian-edu-artwork/art/usplash At the very least, the progress bar should be changed from a transparent "Debian" to a transparent "Debian Edu".
