[Savannah-cvs] [ManuallyInstalledPackages] (edit)

[Beuc]

--removed:
-* Linux kernel (root): we manually patch it with linux-vserver, and it is good 
to maintain a working personnal kernel, so we can easily/quickly recompile it 
with any patch we want, which wouldn't be the case with a Debian kernel 
(heavily patched so incompatible with other patches, several hours needed to 
compile).
-* util-server (root): utilities to manage vservers (start/stop/enter/etc.). We 
might actually use the Etch package.

--removed:
-* git (sv_cvs): installed manually, the product is not feature-frozen enough 
to stick to a particular version; the backport from backports.org introduces 
some changes and is usually several weeks late so we do not currently use it
-* pam_mysql (sv_cvs): used to provide Doctor access using the Savane password, 
via CVS PAM. Debian Sarge and Etch versions don't have MD5 support 
(http://bugs.debian.org/373834)
-* Doctor (sv_cvs): to provide web-based write access to web pages
-* Savane (all): we develop it :)

++added:
* Savane (all): we develop it :)

>From backports.org:

 * Linux kernel with VServer (we used to manually compile it, but only Beuc 
knew how to do so - not good)
 * git

To remove -  Doctor isn't used and requires a password-enabled pserver, which 
is not good for security generally (requires more protection against possible 
user setuid should somebody ever gain local access to SV)

* Doctor (sv_cvs): to provide web-based write access to web pages
* pam_mysql (sv_cvs): used to provide Doctor access using the Savane password, 
via CVS PAM. Debian Sarge and Etch versions don't have MD5 support 
(http://bugs.debian.org/373834)
