The recently added script debian-edu-ltsp-install makes a lot of
assumption on the Debian Edu site setup and hard-codes various paths
and such that should be more configurable IMHO.
After having tested various diskless workstation deployments in the
field over the next weeks, I'd like to adjust debian-edu-ltsp-*
scripts and make them more generic and flexible and configurable via
/etc/.
The topic has been discussed last night with Wolfgang Schweer on IRC,
see chat backlog below.

22:35 < sunweaver> ok, last topic...
22:35 < sunweaver> debian-edu-ltsp-install
22:35 < sunweaver> there are several hard-coded assumptions in the
script (e.g. about folder names in /srv/ltsp, etc).
22:35 < schweer> yes
22:36 < sunweaver> I'd like to make this more configurable, possibly
via a conf.d/ directory and run-parts.
22:36 < sunweaver> so, that one can extend the scope of the script.
22:36 < schweer> good
22:36 < sunweaver> is there any reason, why you stuffed all variants
of a chroot (esp. X2Go thin client and DLW) into one script?
22:37 < sunweaver> I wondered if we should actually provide two
different scripts for that.
22:38 < schweer> idea has been to have a self contained script which
local admins could copy to /usr/local/sbin and modify it to their needs
22:38 < sunweaver> ah, ok. I get that. That's actually what I did.
22:38 < schweer> :)
22:38 < sunweaver> maybe we can make the script more generic and
pluggable, so that adaptations can be handled via /etc/debian-edu/...
22:39 < sunweaver> or /etc/ltsp/...
22:39 < schweer> yes, feel free to do so
22:39 < sunweaver> whereever, but somewhere in /etc instead of in the script.
22:39 < sunweaver> ok, thanks.
22:39 < sunweaver> not sure how much of all the above I will be able
to work on the coming days, let's see.
22:39 < sunweaver> deployment at the customer site must come first,
but that's a nice test case.
22:40 < schweer> sure :)
