Yes, congratulations with a job well done, to each and every one which
helped make this possible. :)

Sounds good to me. It make sure the changes are few and hopefully
done conservativly. It also make sure someone is responsible for
taking decisions if no concensus is reached.

Yes. I hope to find time to set up building of a new version of the
CD, build from the woody-test source. I'm not sure if it will work,
but I'll try and see how it goes. The idea is to try both with a
newer version of debian-cd and with the picax package, and see if any
of them can handle a pool based local repository. If not, we will
have to make a separate test repository with a different structure.
I also plan to change the building of the stable CD to use the
debian-installer udebs from testing/sarge instead of unstable/sid.
This should give us less untested changes to the install system. I
tried earlier to copy the udebs to our local repository, and fetch
them from there, but this broke. I'm not sure why, but I suspect it
is because or local repository is missing the correct package priority
override file.
As for planned changes to the stable series, I would like to upgrade
base-config to the one in woody-test. Here is the changelog:
base-config (1.69.skolelinux.6) woody; urgency=low
* Petter Reinholdtsen
- Handle new output from /usr/bin/tty (for newer kernels). This
fixes skolelinux bug #770, making installation work for those
using ISO-8859-15.
- Log to syslog when something fail. This make it easier to find
out why installation fail
* Frederico Goncalves Guimaraes
- Updated Portuguese translation.
It need some testing, but when the testing is over it should solve
german installs.
