Description Warren Togami 2011-05-20 03:10:15 UTC
ltsp ltspfs ldm mkdst are EPEL-6 only packages.  Fedora 15+ is incompatible with LTSP.  nbd and xorg-x11-drv-geode are no longer shipped as of RHEL-6 so I need a branch in EPEL-6.

Comment 6 John Hein 2012-01-30 04:56:32 UTC
What needs to be done to get pyserial packages available via epel yum for el6?

Comment 7 Kevin Fenzi 2012-01-30 20:46:38 UTC
Warren needs to build it and push it out as an update.

Comment 8 Kevin Fenzi 2013-02-03 03:05:04 UTC
Whats the news here? Warren?

Comment 9 Joshua Trimm 2013-02-05 00:59:50 UTC
I have recently taken hold of the EL6 side of the LTSP project to help out pick up where Warren left it. I have the latest LTSP 5.4.4 trunk working on i386 and x64 platforms for the server, and i386 for the client using both NFS and NBD. The testing and packaging of the different elements is almost complete. I think all I will need is a repo branch for the client to yum from when this is said and done. Please don't hesitate to contact me by email if you have any questions or just to introduce yourself =)

LTSP would be invaluable to several of my customers.  I'd like to brew up their requirements and have them attached to this RFE.  It'll take me a day or two.

Additionally, I'd like this for RHEL as well as EPEL.

Andrew: I think you are in the wrong place here. ;) 

If you want to get things working in EPEL, you need to work with the existing package maintainers (or become one yourself). 

If you want LTSP packages in RHEL, you probibly want some internal RHEL only request for that. 

Warren or Joshua: What is the current state of LTSP in EPEL? 

I don't actually see any reason to keep this bug open, it was simply here to add packages for warren when he was working on it. Perhaps there would be some better place to coordinate folks interested in this?

Comment 15 Andrew Riell 2014-07-11 16:40:14 UTC
Go Here for LTSP is RHEL 6 -> 	Bug 1118841

Comment 16 Joshua Trimm 2014-07-14 15:19:21 UTC
The current state of ltsp is stable for RHEL 6, see wiki http://wiki.ltsp.org/wiki/Category:Fedora

It would be good to have current ltsp packages in RHEL 6 but its not urgent.

@Andrew - Can you grant me access to that Bug #?

Comment 17 Andrew Riell 2014-07-14 15:33:57 UTC
The problem with that is it's not officially (Red Hat) supported.  All my customers want a supported LTSP package(s).

Comment 18 Andrew Riell 2014-07-14 15:35:28 UTC
sorry wrong BZ

Comment 19 Warren Togami 2019-09-15 19:01:17 UTC
It appears the purpose of this bug was complete years ago. Closing.
