May I suggest something?

 From what I have read in this thread, the problem is:

   o you want X2Go installable on RHEL
   o the only person doing the RPMs does not have a machine with RHEL to test
     his packages on

@Jan: would it make sense that Daniel provided you with a login on a  
RHEL machine? Whould that help?

If so, can the two of you please get together?

@Daniel: some background info.

Unfortunately, the people coding X2Go (Alex, me, Heinz, Morty,  
Reinhard, Arw, ...) tend to run on Debian (or Ubuntu) monoculture  
sites, only. I personally changed over to .deb packaged distros more  
than 10 years ago. On the other hand I have just become Debian  
Developer, so that is the packaging style I focus on.

Thanks to Jan and his employer (who pays for it) we have RPM packages  
for concurrent RPM-based distros. Note that Jan at the time of writing  
rather is on the periphery of the project, simply providing the RPMs  
and (very good) patches. The packaging is not so much an upstream  
issue, as you might guess.

So, actually you are absolutely free (as an alternative) to package  
for RHEL yourself and provide a download URL on our website. That is  
one realm of possibilities. Another surely is to arrange with Jan to  
cooperate on the RPM pacakges.

I understand that you want X2Go to be spread around the global and  
also make it available on business Linux distros (like RHEL). Thanks  
for that disposition and maybe there is a niche for you to help out in  
our project.

light+love,
Mike
