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)

Per discussion on athena10@, we're moving away from lockers in order to get timely updates without a maintenance burden. We should therefore make most of the "batteries included" functionality that formerly lived in lockers available both in cluster machines and on other typical Athena environments.

The current version of this is the debathena-cluster-software metapackage. As is it's not suitable for e.g. dialups like Linerva, because it includes openoffice.org and thunderbird. It should become two packages:

• debathena-extra-software-nox for lynx, drscheme, and everything else non-graphical;
• debathena-extra-software for the graphical stuff, plus a dependency on debathena-extra-software-nox.

Possibly some other names would be better.
