That's another issue, but perhaps not as important as dns and dhcp 20:14:31 getting the gosa dns plugin to work with powerdns in strict mode is a simple change, adding one extra attribute to the ldap objects, so I believe we should go that way. 20:14:50 and1bm: it is more important, as NFS exports depend on netgroups. 20:15:09 dns is god ;) 20:15:11 perhaps we can use kerberos tickets instead 20:15:41 and1bm: perhaps, but until it is proven to work, I do not believe it. :) we are working on something similar at the university, but no success yet. 20:15:50 pere, this one extra attribute to the ldap object, which package is that that needs modificatio? 20:16:35 h01ger: no idea. I just looked at the ldap objects provided as pastes by and1bm . 20:16:36 * tatotat greets (and excuses on the later arrival) 20:17:13 tatotat, hi. full log is at http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-edu/2010/debian-edu.2010-01-11-19.01.log.html 20:17:45 info: getting gosa to work with powerdns seems possible with little work 20:18:04 info: for netgroup support in gosa, there is a patch from and1bm somewhere 20:18:07 h01ger: thanks 20:18:10 and1bm, where? :) 20:18:16 it is adding domainname: foo.intern or something like that. 20:18:53 tatotat, sorry, its actually http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-edu/2010/debian-edu.2010-11-08-19.58.log.txt - no html version yet :) 20:19:34 h01ger: ok :) 20:20:23 http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2010/04/msg00124.html 20:20:25 "Fix as many FIXMEs in the [[DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze|Manual]] as possible" is also important 20:20:28 and1bm, thanks 20:21:24 more blockers or should we move on? 20:21:30 anything else about status to be said? 20:21:36 #link http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ldap.gosa/506 20:22:04 I do not have the time to work on the pdns issue (and I am not sure if it's that easy). 20:22:45 #info associatedDomain is the ldap attribute needed. 20:23:07 thanks pere. have collected the info and will file a bug after the meeting 20:23:10 more blockers or should we move on? 20:23:31 there are probably more blockers, but my brain is mush. :) 20:24:14 i could try to work on converting pdns to strict. but it depends a lot of how busy it is at work. 20:24:25 pdns is already strict. 20:24:36 * h01ger cheers sepski 20:24:48 I did it this summer, and announced it on debian-edu@. 20:24:55 please continue to file bugs if you meet them! 20:25:00 #topic 2.2. squeeze status - new name for the thin-client-server profile (#588510) 20:25:22 * h01ger assumes everybody has read the thread 20:25:22 i read your mail where you explained the differences. what whas the problem then ? 20:25:23 changing it now will invalidate the translations. 20:25:50 not changing it now will curse life during squeezes lifetime 20:25:52 all profile questions will need work from the translations, which normally take a very log time. 20:26:08 * h01ger is willing to chase translators 20:26:23 I feel no curse from the current name, and believe the issue isn't very important. 20:26:26 * h01ger wonders what other people think, should we do this change now? 20:27:30 we have 18 complete translations now. 20:28:05 When we want to do it, better now. There will never be a 'good time'. 20:29:02 Perhaps we can just keep the old translation. 20:29:19 of course it will be a good time. just after a release is a good time. just before a release is a bad time. 20:29:37 and1bm, if people are going to see the old strings what's the purpose of the name change ? 20:29:56 Next time it will be the better name :) 20:30:27 is there really much change in the translations? 20:30:49 i belive that if we have lived with the old name so many releases we can manage once more. and change the name right after. it would also not add unnessecary burden on translators that are allready working hard for squeeze 20:30:52 jever: the profile question will be invalidated. 20:31:07 if we'd change the name and the translation would become fuzzy, it would still display the old translation? or the new english? 20:31:22 h01ger: the english one. 20:32:47 'terminal server' is a term which mostly is in any language same, isn't it? 20:33:12 jever, at least _i_ wouldnt know how to translate that. bildschirmarbeitsplatz-server 20:33:14 We talked about changing that 10 months ago already? 20:33:27 and1bm, yeah, but had no proper name back then.. 20:33:30 * h01ger believes we have ow 20:33:31 now 20:34:12 anyway, if we dont change the name now, i would at least start to mention it in the documentation... so we can start speaking (about) the right name at least 20:34:21 anyway, who put this topic on the agenda? are we to discuss if we are going to do it, or what name to use if we some time decide to do it? 20:34:36 (or both?) 20:34:56 pere, its pointless to discuss the color if we are not sure if we'll paint 20:34:59 i think we should wait. 20:35:16 since that name is used in many different places it can affect the installation in qurious ways 20:35:24 * h01ger thinks he has been convinced to wait 20:35:58 if we are going to switch, the name should be ready when we start on the squeeze+1 development, to be able to do the switch then. 20:36:07 yeah 20:36:16 one wait the half life long, ... live's too short to wait ;-) 20:36:23 pere, IMO its not a question "if" we switch... 20:36:43 h01ger: I know. but to me it is, as I am happy with the current name, and do not see it as a curse. :) 20:36:58 #info lets change the profile name at the beginning of the wheezy circle 20:37:07 what is the result of #588510: rename thin-client-server profile 20:37:16 pere, i rather dont want to think about the implications... ;) 20:37:21 jever, none yet 20:37:37 #topic 2.4 alpha2 timeline 20:37:45 we only have 23min left... 20:38:36 I believe we should try to get alpha2 out in a month, after the development gathering. 20:38:49 * h01ger sets two reminders for 20110201 for himself: #588510 and #311188 20:38:58 I would love to get more gosa stuff working for this, but do not believe we should wait for it. 20:39:03 * h01ger nods 20:39:10 how about: on sunday at the gathering? 20:39:30 spend saturday with squeezing (tested) stuff in 20:39:36 and final tests on sunday? 20:39:59 I believe it is better to do it the week after, as people tend to get up to speed on developing during a gathering, and continue after the gathering. 20:40:13 that way we get as much of the updates as possible into alpha2. 20:40:28 fine with me 20:40:31 just not much later 20:40:36 i think that's a good idea 20:40:37 then its xmas and such 20:40:38 yeah, good point 20:41:47 #agreed alpha2 target should be the week after the gathering in oslo 20:42:14 pere, what was the focus of it supposed to be, according to your plan? 20:42:27 * h01ger thinks it'd be good to repeat the plan here :) 20:42:30 h01ger: the main server and lda p admin. 20:42:53 it is our week point, so it is time to address it. 20:42:56 #info alpha2 focus: main server and ldap admin 20:43:00 yup 20:43:24 #topic 3. gathering in oslo, 3-5 dec 2010 20:43:56 http://friprogramvareiskolen.no/Gathering/2010-12-03-05-Oslo 20:43:59 * pere hope to be there. :) 20:44:10 * h01ger too 20:44:23 * jever also 20:44:40 and1bm?
