There is no point of having packages just in Skolelinux. We did that years ago, but we dont do that anymore (since years). All our packages are in Debian. And yes, if you install Debian, the result will be different than if you install Debian Edu. But both installs use the same *package pool*. It's similar if you install Gnome vs KDE ;) Or NIS vs LDAP. > Jonas has packages CipUX (most parts) for Debian, they are in unstable, > so they are actually more "squeeze" than "Lenny" and therefore not > working too well with the current stable Skolelinux version. This is the development list, we mostly care about the upcoming version, which atm is squeeze. So this is very fine. Whats not so fine is that there are no instructions like http://wiki.cipux.org/installation/cipux_340x_debian_edu is for Lenny, but for Squeeze. Those would be helpful to have *now* (that squeeze is still in development...) > So, you are saying, since CipUX is in Debian, it will be present as > installation option for Skolelinux in the next release, yes?

Martin > wrote about that. Want to help? :-) Sorry, but atm I'm interested to get a usuable UI for squeeze. If you say catweasel has some unsatisfied build-depends, I'm not interested to help here(+now), as new build-depends wont make it into squezee... cheers, Holger
