PreRelease 06 of Sarge-based Debian-edu



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

A lot of time has passed since last prerelease, and some bug changes
have been done

The biggest change is that we use new ltsp-packages, which is built by
debian packages. Since this is more or less the same tools that is used
with lessdisks, lessdisks is no longer on the CD. Also, to get more
education apps onto the CD, some of the developer tools are removed.
There is no Image for the PowerPC this time, I hope to get back with
more info in that department later on.

   [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
   * Add ltsp-server-standalone as dependencies for thin-client-server.
     This is the next generation LTSP packages.
   * Add acpid as an alternative to apmd for the laptop task.
   * Now that alternates get | instead of , change
     myspell-fr to myspell-fr | myspell-fr-gut which conflict with each
     other.  Patch from Rene Engelhard. (Closes: #248025)
   * Add kdeedu to desktop-other, to include all those tools
     in a desktop installation.
   * Instead of replacing 'ghostview' with 'gv', insert 'gv | ghostview'
     to make sure the old package is accepted as a dependency.
   * Drop the old LTSP packages.  We want to use the new ones instead.
   * Add 'raidutils | dpt-raidutil' to the common task, as part of the
     sysadmin toolbox, to have some support for adaptec raids.

     a few more user applications.
   * Drop pgpgpg from desktop-others and standalone.  Todays tools use
     gnupg directly, so this package is no longer needed.
