The dtc-xen package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is the perfect moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. (manual note: as you may see, a general rewrite is needed here, given the pretty poor quality of the current templates) To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that momebt will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: dtc-xen/conf_soap_port Type: string Default: 8089 _Description: Server port: What port should it bind to? Default is 8089. Template: dtc-xen/conf_soap_login Type: string Default: dtc-xen _Description: SOAP server login: dtc-xen will bind a SOAP python server on which a dtc panel can connect to in order to start, stop create and destroy a VPS. What login do you want to create on that server. Template: dtc-xen/conf_soap_pass Type: password Default: dtc-xen _Description: SOAP server pass: dtc-xen will generate a password (in a .htpasswd file) that will hold the password for the login you have just configured. What password do you want to have generated in it? Template: dtc-xen/conf_soap_domain_name Type: string Default: example.com _Description: Server hostname: What will be the domain name for this dtc-xen server? This will be used as a part of the URL by the SOAP dtc panel client. Template: dtc-xen/conf_node_number Type: string Default: 0101 _Description: VPS Server node number: dtc-xen will use that number as a VPS Server number and will make your VPS numbering using xenXXXXYY with X being the server number (what it's are asking you at the moment) and Y being the VPS number itself (xenYY). Note that this node number has to be between 4 and 5 chars, and that it will create something like nodeXXXX.example.com that will be your server hostname (which you can later add in your DTC control panel). Template: dtc-xen/conf_debian_repository Type: string Default: ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian _Description: Debian repository for setting-up VPSes: dtc-xen will use that repository for creating VPSes, and will copy your /etc/apt/sources.list inside your VPS (so this will be used ONLY durring the debootstrap stage of the VPS creation). Template: dtc-xen/conf_netmask Type: string Default: 255.255.255.0 _Description: Netmask to be setup in the VPSes: Please enter the Netmask to use when doing the VPS network customization when dtc-xen creates a VPS. Template: dtc-xen/conf_network Type: string Default: 192.168.60.0 _Description: Network to be setup in the VPSes: Please enter the Network address to use when doing the VPS network customization when dtc-xen creates a VPS. Template: dtc-xen/conf_broadcast Type: string Default: 192.168.60.255 _Description: Broadcast to be setup in the VPSes: Please enter the network broadcast address to use when doing the VPS network customization when dtc-xen creates a VPS. Template: dtc-xen/conf_gateway Type: string Default: 192.168.60.254 _Description: Gateway to be setup in the VPSes: Please enter the network gateway address to use when doing the VPS network customization when dtc-xen creates a VPS. Template: dtc-xen/conf_linux_kernel_name Type: string Default: 2.6.16.27-xenU _Description: Xen Kernel release name: Enter here the kernel version number as it appears in the uname -a. A kernel domU with that name must be located in /boot (example: vmlinuz-2.6.16.27-xenU) and it's corresponding modules must be in /lib/modules. Template: dtc-xen/conf_lvm_name Type: string Default: lvm1 _Description: Volume group where to create VPS: dtc-xen creates physical partitions in a lvm volume group that you have to name here. This volume group has to be big enough to hold all the VMs you will setup later on this server. If you don't want to use lvm (because you don't care if loopback is slower), leave this as default and dtc-xen wont use it anyway. Template: dtc-xen/conf_info_finish_setup Type: note _Description: How to finish the install To finish the installation, you need to launch /usr/sbin/dtc-xen_finish_install. This script will remove port forwarding from your sshd_config and add the grant of xm console to the group xenusers so your users can loggin to the physical console. It will then try to download the files needed to setup Gentoo and CentOS into your VMs. Note that the system is currently safe (nobody can connect to a physical console as xenXX, they will be rejected because the /etc/sudoers is not changed), but a basic user wont be able to log into his physical console using ssh.
