my recommendations for X2Go Client versioning:

  o release X2Go Client as is on Git master as 4.0.3.2
  o merge feature/cleanup branch to master (discussion at our next
meeting)
  o version bump to 4.0.4.0
  o release 4.0.4.0 whenever it suits you

Thanks for bringing that up. Yes, that's exactly the plan.

This said, I explicitly built the preview version from my bugfix/osx
(/features/cleanup) branch to have it tested more widely. While the code
changes were minimal, as already discussed in private, (FIXME: also put
this up the mailing list tomorrow!) I didn't test more sophisticated
features like the broker or LDAP and there is a chance some resources
(images) are not yet correctly wrapped up in my wrapper. I suspect I got
it all, but more testing is never a bad idea.

The benefit of this build to the user of course is a way more stable
client which doesn't need to be restarted every time a subsequent
session is started.


4.0.3.2 will be released based on current master, not my restructured
branch(es).


@Heinz, Stefan: IMHO, this is a very got point in time where the X2Go
team could release the next X2Go LTS bundle. If needed, I can help
with that now. If this shall be done some time later (I really
disrecommend that), then you can pull me in via a coaching contract
for that (because, no idea when this will be and where I will be by
that time).

My understanding of LTS is still very fuzzy. Does LTS merely mean that
it's supported for an extended period of time, living in its own
directory on packages.x2go.org and that any bugfixes for master are
supposed to be backported to the LTS release?

It means:

  o extra branches in Git that only get security issues and heavy breakage
    cherry-picked
  o dual release scheme (LTS version, main release version)
  o separate URLs for obtaining packages (see [1])
  o support of those LTS branches in Git (and their binary release) for
    a defined period of time (until the next bundle release, basically)
  o AND: I have seen several people using the Baikal LTS Bundle!!!
