Latest stable Debian 9.1

[TonyMedKniven]

Hi

I'm reluctant to install older than latest stable and the package has dependencies that are held i 9.1. Will this be looked into?

Also the appliance .ovf has hw specs that aren't accepted by vsphere.

ie. evaluation of this is going slow.

The initial package for Debian 9 was built less than two weeks ago, so I'm not quite sure what you were doing 28 days ago? Installing the Debian 8 package on Debian 9 would presumably not work at all. Did something on nav.uninett.no give you the impression that you could install the Debian package on Debian 9? In that case, we need to update some docs...

Also, the appliance has nothing to do with the Debian packaging project (use OVFtool, as the install instructions mention; vSphere&Co are dumb)

I'm sorry I was there before that ie. <2w, also, I'm the same guy tony.gottfridsson@hig.se. complaining via other lanes. :-D

I have major daily stuff to fix but the comming week I'l try to get some time to start the appliance version and let the network guy loose on it after I've examined the config/data storage alternatives that allow for future production implementation.

I'm sorry if I was "hard" saying abandonware, I'm simply being direct and clear in what I see. I did notice who use it, but when I checked it was slow on the bug site (you informed me about why) and deb8 was the only alternative and so on. I'm "on the boat now. You answered bot @work and here so I'll set this up and force the network guy to go to work on it when I made it run. To be completely honest my feeling is that mr sunet "herr nilsson" want's us to evaluate this.. before he promotes/enforces this on his end. I mean... he sent us to you and there is no sunet testing from what I can see.

Are u involved with eduroam also? I haven't had the time to join the mailing lists for it yet. I do need to check on that stuff too... omg I love my job it's a never ending stream of hurdles to pass. :-D

I hope u have a nice weekend!

As far as I understand, SUNET may be interested in using NAV for their "Network as a Service", but I have no details on that yet.

I know Linköping University and Chalmers University are using NAV in Sweden. In Norway, more than 95% of universities and university colleges are using it, so there is a largish Nordic higher education community here.

I recommend subscribing to the nav-users mailing list for future questions: https://sympa.uninett.no/lists/uninett.no/subscribe/nav-users

Not personally, no, but UNINETT is, of course :-)

Since there is no actual bug to discuss here, I'm going to close the tracker issue.
