Description Jigish Gohil 2009-02-10 15:38:35 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5

I've been maintaining KIWI-LTSP: LTSP5 implementation on openSUSE using KIWI in server:ltsp Build Service repository, now it is at the stable and production ready state.

This is request to include the packages(not all of them) in openSUSE Factory, and possibly 11.3 later.

Reproducible: Always

Should this have gone on https://features.opensuse.org/ ?
Comment 2 andrea florio 2009-02-10 16:16:58 UTC 
+1 for me... kiwi-ltsp is great and works fine!
Comment 3 Shrenik Bhura 2009-02-11 12:20:31 UTC 
The inclusion will largely serve as an impetus for further development of this great project. With increased exposure, the motivation to deliver a quality project shall also increase.
Comment 4 Forgotten User oT5fNj878H 2009-02-11 13:31:44 UTC 
Yes, please include it in OpenSUSE, it will make OpenSUSE more attractive to people who want to build thin client clusters.
Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2009-02-11 13:53:23 UTC 
why not Factory:Contrib? And I agree with #1

Having it in Factory means currently that someone from novell needs to review them and that's why we created contrib where everyone capable can maintain packages that go with a specific openSUSE release.

And for having it on the DVD it's a bit too special use case, so it would be online repo only anyway.
Comment 6 Jigish Gohil 2009-02-11 14:00:00 UTC 
Not on the DVD, but Factory and OSS online repo.

Instead of Contrib isn't current location - server:ltsp more appropriate?

Idea is to include it officially in the distribution. I am sure we can make a same kind of arrangement we have in place for compiz to maintain this as well.

It's feature https://features.opensuse.org/305851 now. I voted for it :)
