That's right, Debian-LAN has its roots in Debian-EDU. During my work
on Debian-EDU, I started to think about a more modularized, flexible
setup and to split the networking part, which is in no way special to
the -EDU, off from the educational package selection. This
modularization would allow to use synergies within a broader user- and
developer-base.
I presented some of the ideas at DebConf11 [1]. Debian-LAN is the
result of this modularization, which I started to work on right after
the talk. It turned out to work even better than expected.
Some developers from Debian-EDU have expressed their interest in using
Debian-LAN as basis for Debian-EDU. I would of course appreciate
that, as it was the original idea of Debian-LAN to provide that part:
Good for Debian-LAN and in my opinion also good for Debian-EDU.
However, they have to decide if they prefer to fight with the
debian-edu-config package again for jessie.
Best regards,
Andi
