Do we build metapackages for wheezy? (Was: Bug#667589: education-mathematics: Adjust for the new octave package version 3.6.1)
Hi,
I wonder what might be the right way to go for the Debian Edu packages.
Some time ago I learned that you have froozen the tasks for the Debian
Edu release and at this time it was a bad move to remove tipptrainer
which was removed from Debian from the tasks files. I think now after
the release the tasks files should be open for editing now, right?
According to the verification process which is done when building the
tasks pages for the web sentinel[1] there are several errors in the
tasks files which is basically because these are removed from Debian:
alioth $ grep ^ERROR /srv/home/groups/blends/webtools/logs/debian-edu.log | wc -l
33
While this is no problem because the tools are handling this sanely IMHO
this needs some investigation. There might be some packages outside
Debian which I'm not aware about and if this is the case these at least
should be enhanced by some information about prospective packages as it
is described in the Blends documentation[2].
I'd volunteer to fix the bug below in SVN but I need your confirmation
that a
s/octave3.2/octave/
is the right thing to do in the Debian Edu / Skolelinux context.
Kind regards
Andreas.
