[opensuse-factory] Restart factory
Hi, when having a look on the commit mailinglist, it seems development for 10.3/11.0/xx.xx just started, right? There are several base packages which would never have got an update during 10.2 release (coreutils, bash) Maybe some words about the strategy for the upcoming release? What is planned for the next version? On what do we put our focuses?

The same commit mailinglist says that coreutils and bash were just updated... Bye, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Well, new package versions, new features, better stability? :) There are no specific outshining features yet.

For 10.2 'smart card' integration was mentioned a long time ago, but I never heard about it again. I used smart cards in Sun labs, and it was a pretty nice experience. There was even an implementation with SunRay clients, that when I unplugged the card and went to another station, I could continue my work, where I stopped it. This brings to another wish: LTSP integration, like in 'Edubuntu'. A diskless thin client solution using distribution binaries and LTSP support scripts.

Once we have the details on what is needed for the LTSP integration, we will be able to size this project and estimate, if we can get this into 10.3.

http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/MueKow gives an overview and https://wiki.edubuntu.org/HowToCookEdubuntu/Chapters gives many details of the Ubuntu implementation. If time permits, I'll install it again next week, and share my experiences. Once I installed it, my notebook was the server and my Pegasos PPC the client, and it worked fine. Then I accidentally deleted it :-( Next fall I need to install a Linux lab where I teach my informatics course, 10.3 would be just on time. I would prefer to use SUSE :-) Bye, -- CzP http://peter.czanik.hu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I will probably update a 10.0 installation with LTSP to 10.2 and the latest version of LTSP sometime in January. The biggest issues I remember of were: - create the correct boot images for the stations (a GUI to chose, download and create the floppy would be very nice) - configure the different version of X (the one from LTSP and the one from SUSE) to work along nicely, namely setxkbmap (and thus the kxkb application from KDE) did not work at all. LTSP also has a console config tool, for which a YaST module would be nice. This configures the TFTP server, DHCP, and things like that on the server machine.
