Server Team 20080715 meeting minutes

[Mathias Gug]

Hi,

Here are the minutes of the meeting. They can also be found online with        
the irc logs here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/Server/20080715.        



==== Add 'status' action to server init scripts ====

kirkland created a wiki page[1] to keep track of the different packages that
should implement a status action in their init script. He also added a recipe
explaining how to implement a status action in an init script.

ACTION: kirkland to update the init script wiki page with a list of packages
that should be fixed.

==== Augeas ====

nxvl reported that the augeas package was published in the ubuntu archive. It
was also accepted in Debian. The next step is to write more lenses. nxvl setup
a wiki page[2] to keep track of the lenses writing effort.

He also looked into the Model:Config[3] project. He plans to package it once
Augeas is supported.

==== Encrypted ~/Private Directory in Each User's Home ====

kirkland reported that most of the MIRs had been written. He is also using an
auth-client-config profile to setup the pam configuration correctly. He
updated the testing instructions[4] and is looking for more testers.

==== Migrate new installs and upgrades of client and server packages to use
SSL v3 or TLS ====

ivoks made a list of packages that need their configuration updated. He added
it to the wiki page[5].

There was some discussion about dropping support for sslv2 in the openssl
package, rather than modifying each package. mathiaz suggested that it may be
worth having a session about this proposal during next UDS or at least start a
conversation on the ubuntu-devel mailing list.

==== Integration of SASL and Postfix ====

ivoks looked briefly into it: since postfix is jailed, giving access to the
sasl daemon socket is the main issue (which is the same problem with Dovecot
SASL).

ACTION: ivoks to discuss cyrus socket integration with lamont.

==== Review ServerGuide for Intrepid ====

sommer updated the samba section in the Ubuntu Server Guide. mathiaz looked
into creating a bzr branch of the server guide after discussing with LaserJock
about handling translations. He is still working on figuring out a simple
workflow for new contributors.

==== Agree on next meeting date and time ====

Next meeting will be on Tuesday, July 22nd at 15:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.
