LTSP 4.2 is out now. Its an important release because it greatly improves local media (floppy drives, cd-roms, usb). Can it be added to portage?
Created attachment 84664 [details] Modified 4.1.1 -> 4.2 ebuild I haven't got enough bandwidth to download new 4.2 packages right now and thus am unable to test this. It's a modified 4.1.1 ebuild with the updated package list. Old etherboot images should reside in files/.
except missing " at line 94 file: /etc/X11/default-display-manager must be created manualy.. but works
Created attachment 84718 [details] Minor cleanup version. Fixed missing "-character, removed usb&floppyd comments and sections (I don't think these are being used anymore). Hmm, AFAIK Gentoo doesn't use /etc/X11/default-display-manager? Other ltsp-ebuilds don't create it either. Maybe someone could modularize the new features in 4.2 with USE-flags or something. I don't know anything about them yet. This ebuild seems to work for me at least.

why is ltsp_nasd-1.2-0-i386.tgz download but not installed, it only use space on disk, because ltspadmin - install_tool download this for you self into pkg_cache

Sory the "two" previous report are WRONG, mistake is on my side :)

Is there a way to get around the rpath_security_check problems like this? scanelf: rpath_security_checks(): Security problem NULL DT_RPATH in /var/tmp/portage/ltsp-4.2/image//opt/ltsp-4.2/i386/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux/auto/B/C/C.so I see Pinky mentioned it before but I don't see solution posted.

Created attachment 86219 [details] Fixed a couple 404s I noticed that during emerging the posted 4.2 ebuild, I got a couple of 404 errors. I corrected the paths and am resubmitting it.
Created attachment 86436 [details] Ebuild for ltsp-4.2 update 1 Sorry, I don't know how to fix that insecure runpath. Update 1 contains a new kernel and a few package updates: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LTSP-42#LTSP_4_2_update_1_now_available
Just a small report on my progress to install ltsp 4.2 in a gentoo/xen environment using this ebuild. For dhcp/dns business I use dnsmaq (installed on another server) with the following options: ----------------------------------------------------------- dhcp-boot=/pxe/pxelinux.0,ltsp,192.168.0.102 # root path dhcp-option=17,192.168.0.102:/opt/ltsp-4.2/i386 ----------------------------------------------------------- Works great, but I had to do this change in the tftpboot folder: ----------------------------------------------------------- ln -sf /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg /tftpboot/pxe ----------------------------------------------------------- Else PXE wouldn't find the configuration file "default". So far my thin client booted ltsp and I am now working on the KDE configuration. Is it planned to support the "LTSP localdev support package" with this ebuild? Would be great to be able to use swap over nbd.
Re-assign wrt Bug 23545, maintainer retired.

Actually this ebuild already includes client side localdev support. Maybe a USE flag for disabling it would be a nice thing. The only problem is server side configuration. It should be pretty easy (one perl package and some custom scripts for ltspfs), but I'm administrating a Kubuntu LTSP server nowadays, so I don't have much time to play with LTSP on Gentoo. It also seems that the maintainer of LTSP ebuilds has retired :( If anyone has time, here's a working solution for debian-based distros: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LTSP-42-LocalDev it should be "converted" along with appropriate packages to work on Gentoo: http://gentoo-wiki.com/LTSP_Configuration

It doesn't work as flawlessly as on Kubuntu, though.

Good idea. I added the lines to http://gentoo-wiki.com/LTSP_Server#net-dns.2Fdnsmasq. For the moment I am installing another gentoo server. As soon this is finished I will continune to test ltsp 4.2 on gentoo.
Created attachment 91729 [details] LTSP-4.2 update 2 Check http://www.ltsp.org for changelog about update 2 of ltsp-4.2..
Created attachment 91730 [details] LTSP-4.2 update 2 - Typo fixed in this ebuild LTSP-4.2 update 2 is out. Here's ebuild for it. This is second generation ebuild for 4.2-r2 because there was a typo in first one.. VNC use flag should be utilized instead of installing vnc module without questions.. Maybe later..
> LTSP-4.2 update 2 is out. Here's ebuild for it. This is second generation > ebuild for 4.2-r2 because there was a typo in first one.. Thanks, works fine here. I did even manage to install local device access with fuse. For the server side installation I took the following file: http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/utils/ltsp-server-pkg-static-0.1.tgz.
Created attachment 95891 [details] ltsp-4.2-r2.ebuild updated a packages might of missed a few changed it so kernel version is set up top rather than changing 12 hardcoded versions removed x dep as server running this doesnt need to have x installed added sane rdesktop and vnc use flags side notes: isnt audiofile just a dep of esd? if so that use flag should be removed the pxe config install is a bit dangerous as it overwites whatever is in there for example I have my own config there with lots of stuff id rather not have written over perhaps another way should be figured out?
1 other item is should we let gentoo strip all the binarys? granted we could stop it for debug flag only
Created attachment 96040 [details] ltsp-4.2-r4.ebuild
ltsp-4.2-r4.ebuild: I have updated the files in the ebuild for "LTSP-4.2 update 4" (http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LTSP-42).
Created attachment 96309 [details] ltsp-4.2-r2.ebuild updated few files i missed and moved rest of vnc under its use flag
Okidoki, so we have a ltsp-4.2-r4.ebuild which is LTSP 4.2 update 4 from Daniel Struck and ltsp-4.2-r4.ebuild which "updated few files i missed and moved rest of vnc under its use flag". Which is the one you're going forward with, and any idea on the ETA for inclusion in the portage tree.
if you hadnt noticed this bug is filed under maintainer-wanted so the chances of it going into portage any time soon is unlikely and if you ask me of course ill say my version is the better choice to go into portage at this time in long term if this bug doesnt get closed odds are another version would be a better choice if no one picks up my changes and keeps them up to date as I wont bother doing the up keep on it I wanted to try the newer version of ltsp and had some time so I added the changes the ebuild needed
howdy - where do i start wrt to taking this over? can i just test/update as needed and then what is the procedure for getting this into portage?
Well you need a developer to commit it or you need to be a developer to maintain it. It is also possible to proxy maintain it - comes down to nagging a dev to commit it. I am usually quite open to commit something even if I am not that interested in it. Your bump looks good so I have committed it - without any -r. Thanks.
