[X2Go-Dev] X2Go packaging (Was: X2Go organigram)

My first x2go packages date back to 2008 and were actually not written from scratch but based on ALT Linux packages that were already there. And yours? Ok, I followed this only biefly, but is this a fight who is allowed to package X2Go? IMO if we can (in terms of manpower) package for a distro upstream that is good. If we have a packager downstream the better. After all that person is free to adjust the upstream packing to his/her likes or provide patches to the upstram packaging to make his/her life easier. Or did I miss the point. Morty -- Dipl.-Ing.

2013/3/12 Moritz Struebe moritz.stru...@informatik.uni-erlangen.de: My problem is the rpm-based distros part. As I see it, packaging for any and all rpm based distros at the same time is just not possible. Of course you can package for some of them at the same time using OBS, but then you will just have some rpm packages and you should note that somewhere. The way user's minds work is There is a rpm package, I can't install it on my distro, so that distro must have some serious problems, even if the problem is just the package was not built for that distro... ___ Ok, so what is your suggestion? Do not provide no packages at all. Add a big red warning? Try to find packagers for those (are you volunteering?). I personally prefer the latter two. ;) Yes, I am. If you are interested in Mageia packages... For me it would just mean rebuilding my packages for the stable releases and make sure not to break anything by doing so. As for other distros, we will just have to find the package maintainers... Oliver ___ X2Go-Dev mailing list X2Go-Dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
