I've noticed you tagging lots of tickets over the last few days for
consideration as 8.2.0 blockers. Some of your selections make good sense
to me, like the GPL tickets (#4265), but others make less sense to me,
like the debuginfo packages issue (#4264), the TurtleArt naming issue
(#5941),
Another thought how difficult would it be to post a summary of the
differences between the weekly builds ? ... so it's quick to see what has
changed or not between them.
(i.e. similar to the 'new joyride released announcements)

p.s. Or shall I just create a TRAC entry on this idea?

Hi Scott,
If the lease server proper is not in use (for XOs with very long

It's trivial for me

As per ticket #7606, until now XO users have had full shell access
over ssh. This (with related commits in ds-backup and xs-config),
confines them to rsync over ssh only.
The update_users.py script fixes existing users, while create_user
will now set the shell of new
XO users were being given their UUIDs as passwords, which was
unnecessary.
In case the user storage system changes again in the future, the post
installation scripts reference /home/idmgr/storage_format_version to
decide what to do.
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index
The status returned by /etc/init.d/idmgr stop is less often the inverse
of its actual success.
/etc/init.d/idmgr start will not start if the daemon is already running.
/etc/init.d/idmgr condrestart works.
diff --git a/conf.schoolserver/idmgr
This removes the named XO users from both the SQL and system databases.
To remove all users, use something like
/home/idmgr/remove_user `sqlite3 /home/idmgr/identity.db \
select serial from laptops`
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index fad74be..1065310 100644
The create_user script tries to give useful information to syslogd, and
ensures that the username it is given is a valid XO serial. It also checks
the ssh public key, but is not terribly strict. If a system user is created
but some later process fails, create_user tries to
