10:12 Changeset [24051] by broder

08:57 Changeset [24050] by broder
Removing KDE from extra-software again. I still don't understand exactly which metapackage brings in what in which version of Debian or Ubuntu, and I don't want other changes to this package to block on us figuring it out.
04:28 Changeset [24049] by broder
In thunderbird-config: * Kill the Kerberos settings stolen from the thunderbird locker - they don't seem to be necessary. * Set mail.server.server1.useSecAuth, which secretly means "use SASL."

Cluster machines have no wireless card and have wired networking …
22:08 Changeset [24046] by broder
In the metrics connector interface, don't use a potentially blocking loop if we get an event we don't know about.
22:03 Changeset [24045] by broder
Add logic to metrics code to wait for 1ms before actually reading events from the connector. This batches a bunch of quick successive events together, rather than continually waking up the gatherer, which minimizes the performance impact to the rest of the system.
21:37 Changeset [24044] by broder
Add a missing dependency on debathena-gdm-config to metrics.
21:34 Changeset [24043] by broder
Create debathena-metrics package for gathering information on how Athena is being used. This package will start a daemon at the beginning of a login session. This daemon captures any path executed by the user over the course of their session, any packages installed by the user, and the total length of the login session. The collected information is sent to wslogger when the user is logged out.

17:20 Changeset [24035] by broder
Change the version number of alpine-config to something less dumb.
17:17 Changeset [24034] by broder
Don't actually punt the alpine dependency in alpine-config, just the debathena-alpine one.
17:10 Changeset [24033] by broder
In alpine-config, mutt-config, and thunderbird-config, use user.mail.mit.edu and GSSAPI instead of Hesiod and krb4.

04:12 Changeset [24030] by broder
Create debathena-language-support to depend on all input methods available.
03:26 Changeset [24029] by broder
Fix a dumb typo in reactivate's control file.
02:58 Changeset [24028] by broder
In order to let gdm-config add the new diversions at approximately the same time that reactivate is dropping them, we can't use DEB_UNDIVERT_FILES, so write some more clever code of our own instead. (Because gdm-config's postinst was triggering before reactivate's, it was to trying and create the diversions before reactivate had removed them.)

09/28/09:

18:29 Changeset [24027] by geofft
gdm-config 1.15: Make the code break less, and add Trac closer

17:57 Changeset [24025] by geofft

Use /usr/share/debathena-gdm-config/{Pre,Post}Session.d instead of /etc/gdm, to avoid potential conflicts with upstream.
14:49 Changeset [24023] by broder
In reactivate: * Use the new /etc/gdm/{Pre,Post}Session.d directories in gdm-config.

13:29 Changeset [24010] by geofft
installer: Change the sudo recommendation heuristic to checking its existence.

09/18/09:

16:22 Changeset [24009] by geofft
Two user-friendliness tweaks to the installer. - If you have ubuntu-desktop installed, suggest using sudo to become root. - Don't prompt about debathena-build-depends; it's a strange question for normals, and devs are assumed to be able to know how to install this package on their own.
10:01 Changeset [24008] by geofft
In ssh-server-config: * Add a warning if a user logs in without tickets or tokens. (Trac: #205) Patch by Jessica Hamrick <jhamrick@mit.edu>.

Ubuntu's dch sucks.
15:43 Changeset [24001] by geofft
In printing-config: * Insert LPROPT at the beginning of the options, rather than after the first option (which may accidentally split an option and its arguments). * Fix some issues with transformations to the 'args' variable sticking around for a larger scope than they were intended to. This prevents LPROPT from being inserted if we fall back from lprng to cups.
