Packager corner

See Merging for more information on the Merging process.

- openipmi
- zabbix
- syslog-ng
- spambayes
- iscsitarget
- ikiwiki
Integration of SASL and Postfix
Assigned to: AnteKaramatic
Goal: Out of the box integration of SASL and Postfix.
- Look into Cyrus SASL integration as most of services in main support Cyrus SASL rather then Dovecot SASL.
Dovecot SASL integration: Pertains to bug #164837.
Get rid of old libdb versions
Assigned to: ScottKitterman
Goal: Migrate off of as many libdb versions as possible to libdb 4.6 so they can be removed from the intrepid archive.
Review the list of packages that need to be updated:
- libdb 4.2 (Hardy +1 due to openldap) - remove the ones that are done:
- kolab-cyrus-imapd (changes needed to support on disk format changes)
- libdb4.2-ruby - Plan to leave this in place for Hardy for ISVs that need libdb transaction support with Ruby. Libdb4.6-ruby is uploaded, but broken with threaded transactions. rbot, dhelp, and bsfilter need to be migrated. (rbot and bsfilter have been migrated)
- onak (changes needed to support on disk format changes)
openldap2 - Bug #187468
openldap2.3 - Bug #187471
- nvi
Note: The openldap migration is pending resolution of libdb4.6 performance issues and being worked.
- libdb 4.3:
- kfreebsd-5
- libdb4.3-ruby (rbot, gonzui, bsfilter - pending)
- qtstalker
reprepro - WIP - Bug #199240
- libdb 4.4:
- dnshistory
Note: To do the migration make sure its not using transactions: grep for transaction in the source code - if transactions aren't used, update the build-dep/depends. Otherwise, existing data have to be migrated to a new structure.
Add augeas lenses
Assigned to: Nxvl
Goal: Augeas has been already packaged, now we need to cover a set of lenses to manage the configuration files from the most common/used services.
Tester corner
Documentor corner
Update Ubuntu ServerTeam wiki pages
Assigned to: MathiasGug
Goal: Improve the pages to make it easy to contribute to the ServerTeam.
Track pages on help.ubuntu.com that need to be updated
Assigned to: Asommer
Goal: Keep track of server related page on help.ubuntu.com that need to be updated.
Currently focusing on pages related to Samba:
Some of the above pages cover the same material so it's probably a good idea to try and merge them into one and see about deleting the old content. Others can probably just be confirmed to work on Gutsy edited to conform to the WikiStyleGuide. Also, the SettingUpSamba page is mentioned on the WikiToDo page.
Update Server-Related Ubotu Factoids
Assigned to: NealMcBurnett
Goal: Review the factoids offered by uboto that relate to the sorts of questions that come up in #ubuntu-server and improve them.
Missing and perhaps useful factoids:
- inetd
- openssl
msa and/or mra - see http://wiki.mutt.org/?MailConcept
Update ServerGuide for Jaunty
Assigned to: Asommer
Goal: Review the ServerGuide and provide any updates that my be necessary for Jaunty.
The development version of the server guide can be found online.
Spec for Jaunty: JauntyServerGuide .
Update Server FAQ
The ServerFaq needs to be reviewed. Questions that have not been updated are marked with needs update.
