Quick update on the Roaming workstation in Jessie
Hi. I've successfully installed three Roaming Workstations (had to
manually install lilypond-doc from sid to work around installation bug
#758787), and thought you all might like a little update on its status.
I've installed on a KVM virtual machine (X came up OK), Thinkpad X200 (X
came up OK) and Thinkpad X300 (X did not come up OK).
These are the errors as reported by debian-edu-test-install:
error: ./doc: Unable to find documentation at
/usr/share/doc/debian-edu-doc/en/debian-edu-jessie-manual.html.
error: ./timezone: /etc/localtime for nb_NO.UTF-8 is not equal to
(posix/Atlantic/Jan_Mayen), /etc/timezone is 'Europe/Oslo'.
error: ./webcache: WPAD file 'http://wpad/wpad.dat' is missing HTTP
proxy info. (#644373?)
I've fixed the timezone bug in the testsuite script, and the missing
documentation is real as we have not started on the jessie doc yet. The
bad proxy setting is real too. No fix known yet.
The how-can-i-help report for the installed packages look like this:

New packages going to be removed from Debian 'testing' (the maintainer might need help):
- childsplay - https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/childsplay - removal on 2014-10-05 (bug: #758839)
- childsplay-alphabet-sounds-ca - https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/childsplay-alphabet-sounds-ca - removal on 2014-10-05

New packages waiting for sponsorship (reviews/tests are also useful):
- freemind - https://bugs.debian.org/750136 - RFS: freemind/1.0.1-1 [ITA]
In addition to these issues, there are a few packages already removed
from Jessie since Wheezy, and which we probably care about. I do not
have the complete list, but based on what is installed on an old wheezy
installation with a few extra packages, I believe these are relevant:
- denemo-data - http://packages.qa.debian.org/denemo
- denemo - http://packages.qa.debian.org/denemo
- ttf-denemo - http://packages.qa.debian.org/denemo
- denemo-doc - http://packages.qa.debian.org/denemo
- drgeo - http://packages.qa.debian.org/drgeo
- ghemical - http://packages.qa.debian.org/ghemical
- gnash - http://packages.qa.debian.org/gnash
- gnash-common - http://packages.qa.debian.org/gnash
- klash - http://packages.qa.debian.org/gnash
- browser-plugin-gnash - http://packages.qa.debian.org/gnash
- konqueror-plugin-gnash - http://packages.qa.debian.org/gnash
- gchempaint - http://packages.qa.debian.org/gnome-chemistry-utils
- graphthing - http://packages.qa.debian.org/graphthing
- gtkvncviewer - http://packages.qa.debian.org/gtkvncviewer
- libghemical5 - http://packages.qa.debian.org/libghemical
- libghemical-data - http://packages.qa.debian.org/libghemical
- lmms-common - http://packages.qa.debian.org/lmms
- lmms - http://packages.qa.debian.org/lmms
- gimp-ufraw - http://packages.qa.debian.org/ufraw
- ufraw-batch - http://packages.qa.debian.org/ufraw
Perhaps you can help get these back into Debian Jessie? I believe
gimp-ufraw is already taken care of, but have not seen anyone working on
the RC issues for rest. Please help get Debian Edu Jessie into shape by
submitting patches fixing the RC bugs for packages in our tasks. :)
