Boot Support for Degraded RAID
kirkland added a question to the installer covering the topic of booting from a RAID array. If / or /boot is installed on an md device a question is asked about setting BOOT_DEGRADED to true or false. He also wrote a call for testing on his blog.
Tomcat6 server stack support
Koon reported that a new tomcat task is available at installation time. The number of dependencies is now reasonable. He has also been working on fixing tomcat5.5 in universe.
landscape-client in Ubuntu
mathiaz worked on splitting the landscape-client package into two. There are two blockers for Alpha6: a Pre-Depends on python-gobject and promotion of update-motd to main. He’s got a fix the first while kirkland is working on the latter.
Drupal install script
tarvid mentioned the script he wrote to install multiple instances of drupal. mathiaz suggested he comments on the Web Framework specification.
nagios3 in main
mathiaz inquired about the status of nagios3. Although its MIR had been accepted the package was never moved to main in hardy. In intrepid nagios2 disappeared while nagios3 entered universe. Koon is working on getting nagios3 promoted to main.
ACTION: Koon to ask an archive admin to promote nagios3 to main.
vsftpd 2.0.7
Adri2000 asked if a FF exception was needed for getting vsftpd 2.0.7 in intrepid. It wasn’t clear whether it was a bug-fix-only upstream release. mathiaz advised to ask for a FF exception, then work on an updated package and seek for sponsoring.
Mail server improvements
ScottK mentioned that clamav and spamassassin had been promoted to main and were available on the -server iso. clamav has also been updated to the latest version and may ship with an apparmor profile in Intrepid. He is also considering some refactoring of the amavisd-new configuration.
mathiaz asked if these packages would be added to the mail server task. ScottK said that may require some discussions.
ACTION: ScottK-laptop to start a discussion on ubuntu-server@ about adding spamassassin, clamav and amavisd-new to the mail-server task.
