Thanks for having started working on this. You earlier reported this
request via BTS (#116) and getting a fix for this issue rolling is
pretty valuable, I guess.
We won't be able to remove the source folders you referred to from our
nx-libs.git repos as the git repos also documents how NoMachine
releases get merged into NX (redistributed). However, we should get
rid of those folders at build-time (.deb packages) and get rid of
those folders from the tarballs (.rpm et al. packages).
So, if you work on this (I know that you work on .rpm based systems),
please edit nx-libs.git/debian/roll-tarball.sh for us whenever you
want to remove files from the tarball. If you need some other build
options, provide that change as a patch for our patch system. Just
send the patch, I will transform that into an appropriate quilt patch.
For the .deb build process, we have to move folders out of the way
during build-time via /debian/rules. I can see to that, once you have
a diff for the roll-tarball.sh script.
Greets+Thanks!
Mike
