The goal was to have it in the archive by FeatureFreeze, I'll now have
to work on it so it actually works correctly.

Currently if you want a working ltsp-cluster, the hardy packages for all
components but the lbagent and accountmanager in Revolution-Linux's PPA
are working correctly, for the accountmanager and lbagent, you can use
the ones for jaunty.

It's a known issue in upstream's code following a few renames of files.
This will have to be fixed then uploaded to archive.

There's one in the upstream bug tracker.

I usually try to keep this one updated :
https://wiki.stgraber.org/LTSP-Cluster/Documentation/OpenVZSetup

It's for an OpenVZ setup though you can pretty much apply it as is on
physical machines or have everything on the same box (though for a
cluster it's usually a good idea to spread your services).
