* Package name : kvmcs Version : 0.4.5 Upstream Author : Willem Kuyn <willemkuyn@gmail.com> * URL : http://gitorious.org/kvmcs/kvmcs * License : GPL3+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : kvm in client/server environment KVMCS (Kernel Virtual Machine in Client Server environment) The KVMCS environment is ment for an education environment and is developed for an internet cafe for senior citizens. In this internet cafe they give courses and instructions on different operating systems. A lot of different operating systems had to be available at the same time and the power of the (old) computer systems were not sufficient for that purpose. A client server environment is developed where the processing is done on a server and the displays are situated on (thin) clients. A user can select an operating system by logging in with the operatingsystemname (pe xp) and gets the desktop of this os on his screen. After closing down all changes are deleted. The environment is designed for an arbitrary number of clients and os'es. Limitations are server processing power and network bandwidth. I am the upstream developer and the package is used on 3 locations (3 servers and 14 clients). A package in debian will improve the quality and installation from the standard repositories is much easier.
retitle 761158 RFP: kvmcs -- kvm in client/server environment noowner 761158 tag 761158 - pending thanks Hi, A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging kvmcs. Unfortunately, it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from packaging the software. This is an automatic email to change the status of kvmcs from ITP (Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen any activity during the last 12 months. If you are still interested in packaging kvmcs, please send a mail to <control@bugs.debian.org> with: retitle 761158 ITP: kvmcs -- kvm in client/server environment owner 761158 ! thanks It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to time, by mailing <761158@bugs.debian.org>. If you need guidance on how to package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list. Thank you for your interest in Debian,
