Hi there, X2go Git ========as many of you might have realized X2go development has moved to Git based development. The Git development site can be found here:
http://git.x2go.org
Not all X2go packages are available in this Git repository, but we will move more and more packages there whenever we (or you) think that work on it should be continued in Git. We are very happy about people contributing coding work at this point.
Projects available as Git projects on git.x2go.org are nightly-built for Ubuntu GNU/Linux (as Moritz has announced a couple of days ago). Thx to Reinhard+Moritz for this...:
https://launchpad.net/~x2go/+archive/ppa Ubuntu Packages for Trying-Out X2go ===============So, for Ubuntu we currently _only_ have nightly builds. These nightly builds are for testing purposes during development only. Use them at your own risk or rather do not use them without discussing the state of code on this mailing list first. Nightly-builds might not be stable every once in a while. They are built directly from the X2go Git repos -- no matter how broken the code there might be... Currently, you are lucky, to my knowledge all packages build and install well.
We lately have started a discussion if there should be packages at our Launchpad ppa that reflect a rather ,,stable'' state opposed to the nightly-builds. I think we should continue this discussion...
Debian Packages for Trying-Out X2go ===============For Debian I have set up a new reprepro package repository at this URL over the weekend:
http://code.x2go.org/debian Preferrably, the URL will be renamed to: http://packages.x2go.org/debian ...but I need a DNS entry from Heinz for that. (PING!)On http://code.x2go.org/debian we have to component areas: ,,main'' and ,,heuler''.
main: packages reflecting the Git-tag ,,build-main'' (refer to individual
projects on git.x2go.org)
heuler: nightly-builds (not quite yet, currently I have to start the build
process manually)
Notes on ,,main'': Packages in the main area we consider as relatively
stable. As long as X2go is not available in Debian itself, you
probably might try those.
Notes on ,,heuler'': you do _NOT_ want to use nightly-builds for your systems, especially not for production systems. These nightly-builds (cf. Ubuntu nightly-builds) are for developmental testing only. The heuler repos is/will be really experimental stuff. Please keep that in mind.
BUILDING PROCESS =================All packages in the new Debian package repos (similar to Launchpad for Ubuntu) get built against clean Debian chroots. They are built with qemubuilder (a pbuilder/cowbuilder derivative). We currently support i386 and amd64 architectures for Debian only. For testing, we currently only need those architectures. If there is need for other archs like powerpc, armel, ... please let us know. We may consider to build the packages in ,,main'' area for these not so common archictectures, too, if there is a need for that (I have never tested if they work on those archs, though).
As they are a couple of open issues around package building, I will send a couple of subsequent mails, touching those issues, so stay tuned...
