Dear Release Team!
I am the author of the debian-lan-config package. It provides a FAI
config space and instruction on how to roll out a complete local area
network within Debian.
Currently, I am aware of two issues that probably need minor changes
in debian-lan-config 0.17 to make it work as flawlessly as it works
right now:
1) Modifications in dovecot (1:2.2.13-7, not yet in jessie) removed
the creation of self signed certificates. This resulted in
#771407, #771334.
--> The certificate handling has to be moved to debian-lan-config.
2) di-netboot-assistant will hopefully/probably be updated to support
jessie, cf. #759424
--> A workaround for the current di-netboot-assistant package can be
removed from debian-lan-config.
With the stricter freeze policy from the 5th of December on, I fear to
not be allowed to get these fixes/adaptions into jessie's
debian-lan-config package.
debian-lan-config is a configuration package. It is highly dependent
on a huge number of packages and their interplay. I would like to ask
if it might be possible to allow an updated debian-lan-config package,
which provides the changes described above, into jessie after the 5th
of December. (When the 'final' dovecot and di-netboot-assistant
packages are available in jessie).
Alternatively, I could try to "estimate" the changes and prepare a
package which already handles the issues. As this seems to be a
moving target right now, I would prefer not to do that, but instead
wait for a more stable jessie with regard to dovecot and
di-netboot-assistant.
It would be great if you could share your opinion on that.
Many thanks and best regards,
Andi
