<danboid>
Hi all
14:57
alkisg, I've sent a message to the nslcd mailing list to see if they have any suggestions for fixing my sshfs home dir problem. I'll let you know when I get a reply.
14:58
I've also chased up getting a LDAPS server sorted as we really do need to migrate to LDAPS anyway

<alkisg>
vagrantc: around?
20:41
<vagrantc>
alkisg: seem to be! :)
20:42
<alkisg>
👍️ :D
20:42
Regarding this one: https://github.com/epoptes/epoptes/commit/61df1fc94cbabc6384257a8ddf5fb5614740a337
20:42
I think now /etc/default/epoptes-client is missing because of that, and WOL=g is missing, and wake on lan no longer works
20:42
It's not commonly needed so not many people complained :D
20:43
<vagrantc>
and the systemd scripts used /etc/default/epoptes-client ?
20:43
<alkisg>
Yes
20:43
It's sourced by /usr/sbin/epoptes-client; WOL defaults to empty without it
20:43
I can set WOL=g by default, but shouldn't we ship a config file as an example? What's the current policy?
20:44
<vagrantc>
generally i prefer to set defaults and only override them with configuration files, personally
20:44
although technically setting WOL=g now would be a change of behavior, that was an accidental change to drop it?
20:45
<alkisg>
Yes, omitting it was the accidental change
20:45
WOL=g was always the default before that
20:46
<vagrantc>
i would just make it the default in the code :)
20:46
that would arguably even be a fix worth backporting?
20:46
default but overridable, of course
20:46
<alkisg>
OK; do you think we should ship an example file like /usr/share/doc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.gz, or a documentation web page under epoptes.org is enough?
20:47
Should it still be under /etc/default, or under /etc/epoptes? /etc/default is a bit Debian-specific, right?
20:47
(the one that we'll source IF it's there...)
20:48
<vagrantc>
i'd prefer /etc/epoptes/
20:48
well ... ok ...
20:49
source defaults from /usr/share/epoptes/somefile, get sysadmin overrides from /etc/epoptes/somefile ... ?
20:49
<alkisg>
Great. I'll keep sourcing /etc/default for a few years for backward compatibility, but we'll start preferring /etc/epoptes/epoptes-client.conf
20:49
<vagrantc>
then you could just copy the /usr/share file into /etc/epoptes to override it
20:49
<alkisg>
Well, it's just environment variables; WOL=${WOL:-g}; they can be overriden even from systemd units/overrides
20:50
<vagrantc>
yeah ... probably source /etc/default/epoptes if present, overriding with /etc/epoptes/somefile ...
20:50
<alkisg>
So there's no "default file to source", it's plain shell
20:50
OK
20:50
<vagrantc>
at any rate, i think you're on the right track :)
20:50
<alkisg>
👍️
20:51* vagrantc goes back to booting obscure arm systems and obsessing over rebuilding a solar battery management system :)
20:51
<alkisg>
vagrantc: hmm, although I'll have to do the same with /etc/default/epoptes onw
20:51
*now
20:51
That does IS still being shipped... I think... /me checks...
20:52
Heh, no, that got removed too :D
20:52
Oh and I forgot, apart from WOL, it's where people are setting the epoptes server from
20:52
SERVER=name or ip
20:53
We don't set it in LTSP, so I keep forgetting other people do need that part
20:54
<vagrantc>
ah
20:55
<alkisg>
I think it would be easier to set it back to what it was; and later on when we drop support for LTSP5, we can revisit it
20:56
Now epoptes is still compatible with LTSP5, shipping /usr/share/ltsp/plugins etc; we may clean up all that in the next release after 22.01...
20:57
(or I could strip support for ltsp5 now... and document everything in the epoptes.org installation page, and not ship any conffiles)
20:59
Hmm, some schools still have Ubuntu 18.04 with LTSP5, I shouldn't strip that yet
21:00
<vagrantc>
keep hanging on! :)
21:00
<alkisg>
vagrantc: any downsides in just reverting that commit, and revisiting it in a couple of years?
21:01
<vagrantc>
alkisg: maybe something complains that there's no init scripts ... but i don't imagine anything huge
21:01
alkisg: do two package builds with and without and debdiff and/or diffoscope the output :)
21:02
<alkisg>
Will do :)
21:03
Btw debhelper there shows a warning about `Rules-Requires-Root: no` => unknown directive, but it builds fine
21:03
*debhelper 10
21:05
<vagrantc>
never seen that, but maybe didn't pay attention :)
21:06
and sticking with debhelper 10 to support old ubuntu LTS releases?
21:08
<alkisg>
Yes, I'm still sending launchpad builds for Ubuntu 16.04 (which also works on Jessie) for LTSP and Epoptes
21:10
It looks good, I'll commit it
