debathena-emacs-config ended up with a lot of cruft that seems to have been added based on the preferences of the Athena developers at the time. Much of it was removed in r23107, but there is still a fair amount left:

(setq require-final-newline t)
(setq mouse-yank-at-point t)
(blink-cursor-mode 0)

There’s also some stuff that’s no longer needed or just wrong:

(setq inhibit-local-variables t)
(setq bug-gnu-emacs "bugs@mit.edu")
(setq mail-host-address "mit.edu")
(setq tex-dvi-print-command "dvips")
(setq initial-major-mode …)
(setq initial-scratch-message …)

The auto-save changes are useful, but they should be modified to take effect only if DEBATHENA_HOME_TYPE=afs.

debathena-pam-config needs to be updated to work on Intrepid, as outlined in my email from August:

From: Anders Kaseorg <andersk@…> To: debathena@… Subject: Major PAM configuration changes in intrepid Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:47:18 -0400

I’m guessing the rest of you are too lame to run intrepid, but just so you have advance warning, they completely redid their PAM configuration today in a much more package-friendly way. There’s a new pam-auth-update(8) utility that manages /etc/pam.d/common-* by using package-supplied configuration snippets in /usr/share/pam-configs. Here’s an example from /usr/share/pam-configs/ldap:

Name: LDAP Authentication
Default: yes
Priority: 128
Auth-Type: Primary
Auth-Initial:
	[success=end default=ignore]	pam_ldap.so
Auth-Final:
	[success=end default=ignore]	pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
Account-Type: Primary
Account-Final:
	[success=end default=ignore]	pam_ldap.so
Password-Type: Primary
Password-Initial:
	[success=end user_unknown=ignore default=die]	pam_ldap.so
Password-Final:
	[success=end user_unknown=ignore default=die]	pam_ldap.so use_authtok try_first_pass
Session-Type: Additional
Session-Final:
	optional			pam_ldap.so

Some information is available at:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PAMConfigFrameworkSpec

With intrepid scheduled for release in about two months, it would be a very good idea for someone to play with this new framework and come up with a plan for updating debathena-pam-config (and maybe even splitting it somewhat, now that this seems possible).

Ubuntu Intrepid is scheduled for release on  Thursday. broder and I have been working on building Debathena packages for it.

I think we have built everything except for the following packages:

• debathena-build-depends
• debathena-pam-config (#109)
