I belive we are ready for beta2 now. I've added all the changes I hope to get ready for beta2 into the packages now. As soon as beta2 is out, I'll pick up the pace. :) Anyway, the release notes need updates before we announce beta2. Is there any highlights missing on <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/ReleaseNotes>? This is the current list: Changes compared to beta1 version - A warning is now issued when installing on too small disks for the profiles selected. - Default start page for iceweasel is now fetched from LDAP at installation and boot time for networked profiles. Set to http://www.skolelinux.org/ for Standalone installations. - The home0 partition is now mounted nosuid, to increase security. - More tests in the test suite, and correct some of the tests that failed earlier. - Nagios no longer report problem with the kernel version after boot. - Device access for the localadmin user is now handled by policykit and not by adding the user to several groups during installation. - The Kerberos KDC setup is now working again. - Samba configuration is now working again. - The LDAP server is now able to handle more clients after increasing the servers file descriptor limit from 1024 to 32768. - manual down from 31 FIXMEs to 29 (currently) - The Roaming Workstation profile is now working again. - Quicker shutdown of LTSP clients. - Updated default web page content. - GOsa now update DNS and NFS exports imediately when a system is updated in LDAP, making diskless workstations work right after they are added to the required netgroup. - Change KDE/Akonadi configuration to reduce the disk footprint of every user from 144 to 24 MiB. - Reinsert local NTP clock on the main-server to ensure clients and server sync clocks also when disconnected from the Internet. - Correct PXE installation setup and improve PXE menu. - (... to be continued ...) The list of known bugs need to be updated too, and I also believe we need to put in a warning that those using beta1 need to reinstall to get all the fixes included in beta2. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
