  Description : Seamless communication between many kinds of Unix
programs
 The XPA messaging system provides seamless communication between many
 kinds of Unix programs, including X programs and Tcl/Tk programs. It
 also provides an easy way for users to communicate with these
 XPA-enabled programs by executing XPA client commands in the shell or
 by utilizing such commands in scripts. Because XPA works both at the
 programming level and the shell level, it is a powerful tool for
 unifying any analysis environment: users and programmers have great
 flexibility in choosing the best level or levels at which to access
 XPA services, and client access can be extended or modified easily at
 any time.

  Description :  DS9 is an application for astronomical imaging and

 .
 DS9 is the modern imtool used by astronomers.  It is most
 distinguished by its support for displaying images of high dynamic
 range (such as 16 bit greyscale FITS files).  Whereas many other
 tools will only read an approximation to such files, DS9 works in
 full precision, and uses various display parameters to map input data
 into 8 bit data which can be displayed on the screen.


Is is a late attempt to adopt this package after it was removed from

I can't speak for the ftpmasters and Security Team, but honestly I can't

The X2Go upstream team will be open to security and feature patches
and will love to be pointed at security issues discovered. In the
very very very long run there might be someone (we are currently
talking about people in Austria being interested in such a project)
who refactors NX for latest Xorg code, but currently what we can
provide is an active maintenance of NoMachine's code.


I think you're missing the issue here.  Since X.org 6.9, there's been a
lot of bug fixes and improved code.  So you're essentially using an
obsolete codebase with a new protocol hacked on.  The Security Team does
not like code copies.  Porters do not like patching the same software
again and again, except with slight differences that make it impossible
to reuse the same patches[0].


Thanks for pointing that out more explicitly. I have been basically  
aware of this but probably not to its full extent.


And still, my basic (inner and outer) question is:

 1. how can we enrol other people with our endeavour
 2. what is needed to enrol people
 3. is there anyonr in this discussion who can point us to next possible steps
towards acceptance of the packages

I see a great use case for having a low-bandwidth, high-latency remote  
desktop solution in Debian and the X2Go people are really willing to  
make an effort to make X2Go server inclusion in Debian happen.


BTW: I got personal feedback from Marcelo Boveto Shima, FreeNX. The  
project has become silent, though not dead (as Stefan stated). I asked  
him to contribute to this thread...


Thanks,
Mike

I agree it wouldn't be a fit for SID or a release (considering what
has been written in this thread earlier). But would you think
it'd be acceptable to upload it in Experimental then?

Please note that we are implicitly discussing two code bases here...

STEP 1:
For SID and also a later stable wheezy we would love to upload nx-libs  
(LITE). This will update packages already in Debian. Nothing more.


STEP X:
What people in this thread have been contributed to is the handling of  
nx-libs (FULL). Of course many people would love to see nx-libs (FULL)  
in Debian and any derived distro, but I understand all your concerns  
and I know such a discussion would come up here and I am really  
seeking for a new approach here. Experimental upload would be one,  
maybe.

I think you're missing the issue here.  Since X.org 6.9, there's been a

obsolete codebase with a new protocol hacked on.  The Security Team does
not like code copies.  Porters do not like patching the same software
again and again, except with slight differences that make it impossible
to reuse the same patches[0].

The Debian X Strike Force has lots of bugs that need to be dealt with,
very likely because of a lack of time and manpower[1].  If your code is
a fork of 6.9, then all those bugs that were dealt with previously (or
are still present) are probably present in your code.  Also, even though
X2Go may provide security support for nx-libs, the Debian Security Team
still has to issue DSAs and build packages on all of the release
architectures independent of X2Go.

[0] I have had the joy of assisting the kFreeBSD porters with patching
every embedded and modified copy of libgc.
[1] This is not a dig at the X Strike Force; they do a very good job
with package maintenance and bug handling with the manpower they have.

I am very concerned about the old X code, too and we are actively
watching SPICE.  SPICE has extraordinary potential but it is still
slower than NX on WAN links - not much but enough to make a user
noticeable difference.  As SPICE improves, I think we should consider it
seriously.  Its cross platform support is very good which would no
longer limit X2Go server to Windows only and the idea of an adaptive
protocol is absolutely intriguing.  I long for the day we can
realistically do video playing on the virtual desktop across a WAN.
Thanks - John

Hi Stefan,

I am discussing here being in a double role. I am part of X2Go  
upstream, redistributing the nx-libs tarballs and also member of the  
Debian X2Go packaging team.

This appears to still contain a full (according to its size and a short
look at your packaging git),


The packaging Git is on Alioth:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/x2go/nx-libs.git;a=summary

Do you refer to that one?

The redistributor's Git of NX (redistributed) is on X2Go Git:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=summary


forked monolithic X.org 6.9 source tree.


This is indeed the case.


Most likely with little to no bug-/ security fixes since 2005 - or am
I missing anything vital in that packaging git? Likewise the current
debian/copyright appears to lack all copyright notices of the original
XFree86/ X.org code, which makes up, by far, most of the source.


The X2Go upstream team will be open to security and feature patches  
and will love to be pointed at security issues discovered. In the very  
very very long run there might be someone (we are currently talking  
about people in Austria being interested in such a project) who  
refactors NX for latest Xorg code, but currently what we can provide  
is an active maintenance of NoMachine's code.


And: NoMachine has lately released several tarballs around NX, please refer to
http://www.nomachine.com/sources.php

or check out the separate tarball import branches on nx-libs.git on X2Go Git.


What are the plans for its future maintenance, given that NoMachine NX4
appears to switch to a closed source development model and is likely to
abandon the NX 3.5 code base rather soon? In a similar fashion FreeNX
appears to be dead upstream since November 2008 (and already was dead
way before that).


We are not packaging for FreeNX. We intend to package NX for usage  
with X2Go. And X2Go has been continuously active during the last  
years, esp. during 2011.


However, what we took care of is that the way we redistribute latest  
NX sources does not interfere with FreeNX code and also provides all  
FreeNX functionalities. One reason for FreeNX becoming less and less  
active probably was the trouble getting nx-X11 into Debian.


The placing of a redistributor between Linux distros and the original  
tarball provider NoMachine (who has not proved to be active on  
incorporating patches) aims at becoming more flexible and open to  
contributions here.



Wouldn't it make more sense to concentrate on filling the gaps to
re-use something like Red Hat's SPICE protocol for remote desktop uses?


No, performance tests fail for us compared to NX. All technologies  
around apart from NX use capturing algorithms and they scale quite  
badly on low-bandwidth networks.



Regards
Stefan Lippers-Hollmann

Disclaimer: I've had my bite with trying to package early NX 1.x,
NX 2.x versions intended for Debian, but the sheer
amount of forked upstream code (in particular nx-x11)
and, back then, nxssh, samba, rdesktop, esound made
those attempts appear to be an endeavour in futility.
However I didn't actually follow development in this
arena since the early NX 3 era.


Things are moving so may I invite to take another look?

Thanks for your open and honest feedback.

Mike

This appears to still contain a full (according to its size and a short
look at your packaging git), forked monolithic X.org 6.9 source tree. 
Most likely with little to no bug-/ security fixes since 2005 - or am 
I missing anything vital in that packaging git? Likewise the current
debian/copyright appears to lack all copyright notices of the original
XFree86/ X.org code, which makes up, by far, most of the source.

What are the plans for its future maintenance, given that NoMachine NX4
appears to switch to a closed source development model and is likely to
abandon the NX 3.5 code base rather soon? In a similar fashion FreeNX 
appears to be dead upstream since November 2008 (and already was dead 
way before that).

Wouldn't it make more sense to concentrate on filling the gaps to 
re-use something like Red Hat's SPICE protocol for remote desktop uses?

Regards
Stefan Lippers-Hollmann

Disclaimer: I've had my bite with trying to package early NX 1.x, 
NX 2.x versions intended for Debian, but the sheer 
amount of forked upstream code (in particular nx-x11) 
and, back then, nxssh, samba, rdesktop, esound made 
those attempts appear to be an endeavour in futility. 
However I didn't actually follow development in this 
arena since the early NX 3 era.

All are currently broken.  Whether they cause severe breakage depends
upon the individual case.  Some are working apparently OK, e.g.
mdadm.  Others are doing broken things to try and create device nodes
already created by udev.  I can't speak for any known severe breakage--
I haven't tried using the others.  All need fixing though.

Roger

If "given that the /run migration is a release goal" were the rationale,
I'd object.

Am I correct in understanding that these are potentially important or
grave bugs because any code relying on /dev/.udev is simply broken
with current udev?  /dev/.udev doesn't seem to exist.

There are 19 packages still using /dev/.udev after udev transitioned
to /run/udev.  Unless there are any objections, I'd like to raise the
severity of these bugs from important to serious, given that the /run

ITP: nx-libs -- NX protocol libraries and binaries

2012-01-12 Thread Mike Gabriel 

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2012-01-06
Severity: wishlist

* Package name : nx-libs
  Version : 3.5.0.3
  Upstream Author : Mike Gabriel, Oleksandr Shneyder, Reinhard Tartler
* URL : wiki.x2go.org
* License : GPLv2
  Description : NX protocol libraries and binaries

NX is a software suite which implements very efficient compression of  
the X11 protocol. This increases performance when using X applications  
over a network, especially a slow one.


The X2Go upstream team has started to provide ,,NX (redistributed)''  
-- a redistribution of NX code originally provided by NoMachine. The  
X2Go upstream
team has reviewed many patches from different sources and ships them  
with ,,NX (redistributed)''.


X2Go upstream offers two tarball variants of ,,NX (redistributed)'':
  - LITE: nx-libs_-lite.tar.gz (NX client-only support)
  - FULL: nxlibs_-full.tar.gz (full NX client and server support)

The X2Go upstream team has also made an effort on applying X2Go  
specific patches that allow to turn an unbranded NX agent (aka  
nxagent, stripped off !M logo from session startup splash, as done by  
the FreeNX team on Launchpad) into an X2Go branded (splash screen)  
agent (aka x2goagent). The name of the binary decides on the flavour  
(FreeNX or X2Go) the agent runs as.


Due to the X2Go-specific patches, the latest ,,NX (redistributed)''  
tarball provided by X2Go upstream works with FreeNX and X2Go.


The X2Go upstream team has decided to actively provide source code  
maintenance of the original NX coded downloaded from NoMachine as a  
redistributor. This aims at providing higher downstream-responsive  
patch cycles compared to the past (with NoMachine as NX upstream).  
Patches applied to ,,NX (redistributed)'' also get reported to  
NoMachine (by the X2Go upstream team). Patches that find their way  
into original NoMachine release will be removed from the ,,NX  
(redist.)'' patch stack, once a new NoMachine tarball release has been  
tested and incorporated into ,,NX (redist)''.


The first package upload of nx-libs to Debian unstable is planned to  
only provide nx-libs_-lite.tar.gz (the LITE variante of NX  
redist.) and update NX client support in Debian.


This will be required for closing the following ITPs:

  x2goclient (#655602)
  python-x2go (#655608)
  pyhoca-gui (#655603)
  pyhoca-cli (#655607)

The upload of nx-libs will replace to existing source packages and  
close open bugs:


  - nxcomp (3.2.0-7-1.1), closing #627803
  - nxproxy (3.2.0-1-1), closing #637443

The maintenance of those packages will from then on be provided by the  
X2Go Packaging Team on Alioth  
(pkg-x2go-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org). Thanks to Mathew Johnson who  
agreed on handing the packages over to our team and also thanks for  
providing former versions of those packages during the last years!!!


For some future upload the X2Go Packaging Team plans to switch over to  
providing the full ,,NX (redistributed)'' code base, including


  - nxcomp
  - nxcompext
  - nxcompshad
  - nx-X11
  - nxagent
  - x2goagent
  - nxauth
  - nx-X11

This will close the ITP for X2Go Server:

  - x2go (#465821)

The packaing of the full NX (redist) code base would also allow for  
FreeNX to finally be packaged for Debian (if developers of FreeNX have  
an interest on that).
