I suppose it's best to cherry-pick e040352 (from 1.900) into a new branch based on 1.812 and have just done so in git. I'm also pondering uploading 1.900 to unstable… > 3.

See > 800651 for a patch. debian-edu-config 1.818 is the version jessie, while sid and stretch have 1.900 and git has an unreleased 1.901 version. I suppose it's best to cherry-pick b9d0b1f (from 1.819) into a new branch based on 1.818 and have just done so in git. (note/btw: contrary to the version number, 1.819 has changes unsuitable for jessie…) I'm also pondering uploading 1.901 to unstable… And then we also need to update the Jessie documentation in the wiki and in the debian-edu-doc package and the version strings in debian-edu-install… -- cheers, Holger
