potato backport packages
I just uploaded a set of potato backport packages to
ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/people/wichert/ . The packages are divided
in two categories:
* kernel24, which has packages you need to run a 2.4 kernel. The only
really needed package is modutils, the rest is only needed to use the
extra features that 2.4 offers.
* ldap, which has OpenLDAPv2 packages with TLS support enabled. These are
needed if you need to use LDAP3 or TLS with LDAP.
The apt sources.list line to get these is:
deb ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/people/wichert/debian potato/backport kernel24 ldap
deb-src ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/people/wichert/debian potato/backport kernel24 ldap
Please note that these packages have only been tested briefly, so it
is likely there are some bugs. Please report those to the
va-debian-users list or to me directly instead of filing bugreports to
the Debian BTS.
Known problems / things to check:
* the kernel image packages might need to be redone, I haven't had the
opportunity to verify them yet. Please note they are tuned for VA
hardware and don't include the full set of drivers that the normal
Debian images have.
* there might be a problem with changing the password for other users
when using LDAP accounts.
* the SASL non-US modules might not work correctly; this is supposed to
be fixed in the latest unstable version, I need to verify if the
problem also occurs in the backport
* Ben Collins just uploaded a new openldap package to unstable, and the
changelog mentioned a TLS related patch. Need to verify if that needs
to be added to the backported package as well.
* there are only i386 packages. Since VA only sells i386 hardware
and I don't have the time to rebuild everything for multiple
architectures I am not going to recompile them. However if other
people do I will gladly add them to the archive.
Wichert.
