"Our" packages listed in Work-Needing and Prospective Packages -------------------------------------------------------------- This is packages listed in any of our package lists, and also listed in Debian BTS with a WNPP bug. #228716: ITP: cerebrum -- advanced automated user administration and management system Andreas is working on getting it into Debian. #249718: ITA: dosemu -- The Linux DOS Emulator #263051: RFH: sourcenav -- Source code analysis, editor, browser and build tool: Looking for co-maintainer #268206: ITA: noteedit -- KDE Music Editor #295122: ITA: iproute -- Professional tools to control the networking #315236: ITA: tuxtype -- Educational Typing Tutor Game Starring Tux #315340: RFA: kbear -- graphical ftp client for KDE #320442: RFH: sql-ledger -- A web based double-entry accounting program #321594: O: chastity-list -- blacklists for SquidGuard #321598: O: squidguard -- filter, redirector and access controller plug for Squid (This list is generated by 'make wnpp.txt' in skolelinux/src/task-skolelinux/.) How to add packages to Skolelinux --------------------------------- There are several ways to add packages. One directly into the APT source, and one indirect using CVS. The Skolelinux APT sources is two subdirectories: ftp.skolelinux.no:~ftp/skolelinux/dists/woody/local/binary-i386/non-official/ For Woody packages for use and installation into Skolelinux (All packages that is added to this repository shall include source, and correct (orig.)tar.gz-filename.) ftp.skolelinux.no:~ftp/skolelinux/dists/sid/local/debian-installer/binary-i386/non-official/ For udeb packages used by the installer (debian-installer). Everyone in the 'www' group can copy files directly into the APT source. The APT source summary files are updated automatically every 15 minutes, so there is no need to update them manually. - FIXME: document how CVS source is packaged and moved into the APT source.
