[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#481210: Replace the use of the almost deprecated unionfs by aufs

[José L. Redrejo Rodríguez]

Package: ltsp
Version: 5.1.5-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

When using nbd instead of nfs, ltsp uses unionfs.
Unionfs is being replaced by aufs in similar systems like live cds. It's
better maintained upstream, more reliable[1] and less buggy, so even
unionfs-modules Debian maintainer recommends its replacement[2].

I've tried it, and it works perfectly. Attached is the usual patch to
change this behaviour.

By the way, doing the patch I've checked that the files:
client/initramfs/hooks/ltsp_client
client/initramfs/init-bottom/unionfs_cow

are not used in the packaging of ltsp, and totally useless ;-)


Best regards.
José L.
