+ <description><p><a href="http://www.spice-space.org/">The SPICE protocol</a> for
+remote display access is the preferred solution with oVirt and RedHat
+Enterprise Visualization, and I was sad to discover the other day
+that the browser plugin needed to use these systems seamlessly was
+missing in Debian. The <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/668284">request
+for a package</a> was from 2012-04-10 with no progress since
+2013-04-01, so I decided to wrap up a package based on the great work
+from Cajus Pollmeier and put it in a collab-maint maintained git
+repository to get a package I could use. I would very much like
+others to help me maintain the package (or just take over, I do not
+mind), but as no-one had volunteered so far, I just uploaded it to
+NEW. I hope it will be available in Debian in a few days.</p>

-<p>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</p>
-
-<p>Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
-on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
-configured school network. Immediately after installation a school
-server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
-waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
-Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
-initial installation of the main server from CD or USB stick all other
-machines can be installed via the network. The provided school server
-provides LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service,
-centralized home directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other
-services. The desktop contains more than 60 educational software
-packages and more are available from the Debian archive, and schools
-can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE and Xfce desktop environment.</p>
-
-<p>This is the seventh test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
-this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
-Squeeze release.</p>
-
-<p>Notes for upgrades from Alpha Prereleases</p>
-
-<p>Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
-versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
-release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
-deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep
-gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined on the mailing list. (2)
-Accept the new version of gosa.conf and replace both contained admin
-password placeholders with the password hashes found in the old one
-(backup copy!). In both cases all users need to change their password
-to make sure a password is set for CIFS access to their home
-directory.</p>

-
-<p>cheers,
-<br> Holger</p>
