Debian-Edu/Skolelinux Release Candidate 1
The Debian-Edu/Skolelinux project is pleased to announce that the next
test release of "Debian-Edu/Skolelinux 3.0, codename 'terra'" is ready.
This is the fifth test release based on Debian/Etch. It is available
to download using FTP, HTTP and rsync.
This is the first release candidate of debian-edu etch. After that we
will release RC2 and RC3 with shorter delays in between and then we will
release. So please file bugs at http://bugs.skolelinux.org/ NOW, if you
see problems.
Even if you dont have available hardware to test on, you can still help
with testing in qemu. The page
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/TestCDinstall will help you get
started.
test4 was one day late, so we shifted the release schedule: we now plan
to release RC2 on May 27h, RC3 on June 3nd and Debian-Edu etch on June
10th. We might cut RC2 and RC3, as we want to release at the end of May.
Highlights of RC1
* Firefox is now installed by default, with a few much used translations.
* The hostname is now correctly set based on DNS name.
* This release reintroduces the CD. It will grab the packages that did
not fit on the first cd from network.
* debian-edu-doc is a new package containing all documentation.
Currently it lacks update of the information for etch and translation.
Help welcome!
* slbackup-php is now installed as default. Test it with
http://tjener.intern/slbackup-php
* Checks in place to avoid installing the standalone profile together
with any of the others.
