hello again. ltsp 0.99debian11 is in sid, and contains fixes for RC and
important bugs that should enter etch, as well as some translation and
documentation updates. please consider allowing it to progress to etch.

it has seen 3 days in debian sid, as well as over a week in the
debian-edu archives. people have tested that the packages work...

(the alpha buildd has not yet built the ltsp-client package, but i've
never seen alpha-specific problems in the past...)


from the changelog, 0.99debian11:

  * install appropriate linux-image package for amd64. thanks to Damyan
    Ivanov. (Closes: #406357)

this one-line patch installs the appropriate kernel for amd64
architecture.

  * fixes to boolean handling (Closes: #405772)

this fixes boolean handling in some cases so that "false" does not
behave identical to "true", and consistantly use the same values for
boolean configuration options in both the init scripts and ldm.

  * drop dependency on initrd-netboot-tools as it was removed from Debian.
    (initramfs-tools is preferred anyways)

initrd-netboot-tools was a dependency before initramfs-tools was in
debian, and is deprecated (was mostly kept for sarge backportability)
and initrd-netboot-tools has since been removed from the debian archive
entirely.

  * updated location of pkg-ltsp bzr repository

we moved our debian ltsp bzr branch to bzr.debian.org, and updated
debian/copyright to reflect the new location to download the source.

from 0.99debian10

  * added spanish gettext translation. thanks to Felipe Caminos and Hector
    Colina. (Closes: #404404)


attached should be a patch showing the differences between 0.99debian11
and 0.99debian9 (the version currently in etch), minus the spanish
gettext translation.


thanks for your consideration and work!

live well,
  vagrant
