by Mihai Moldovan 29 Nov '18

29 Nov '18

Dear all The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2goserver''. New gains of this version of ,,x2goserver'' are: o provide x2goserver-integration for desktop sharing use-cases o improved Debian packaging o actually use distribution-provided *FLAGS while compiling binaries o re-enabled BIG-REQUESTS extension by default (in tandem with nx-libs 3.5.99.17) o support passing nx/nx nxagent options via /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options thanks to Orion Poplawski o new French translation (but for the desktop sharing strings) The X2Go Project thanks Jean-Pierre Giraud for improving the internationalization support of our software. X2Go Component: x2goserver Version: 4.1.0.3 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1543467321 Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2018 05:55:21 +0100 Fixes these bug report(s): 1322 1325 Changes: x2goserver (4.1.0.3) RELEASED; urgency=medium . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.3) - x2goserver.service: Add Documentation= key. - x2goserver/lib/x2gocheckport: chmod a+x. - New bin:pkg: x2goserver-desktopsharing. Move all desktop sharing integration logic from x2godesktopsharing to x2goserver src:pkg. - Don't rely on "ln -sf" to remove a symlink before recreating it. If the target is non-writable, this may fail (observed on a Debian stretch system). Thus, removing the symlink file first and then recreating it. - Massive white-space cleanup (at EOLs). - x2goserver/bin/x2goruncommand: Support IceWM as desktop session type. * debian/x2goserver*.dirs: + Let dirs have a trailing slash in their path (for the human eye merely). * debian/copyright: + Regenerate auto-generated copyright.in file. + Adopt from recent Debian packaging. + Add x2goserver.spec. * debian/control: + Move xfonts-base from D to R. Thanks lintian. + Move C (x2goserver) with versioned x2godesktopsharing, to B. + Don't depend on essential package without version. Drop bash from D. + Bump Standards-Version: to 4.2.1. No changes needed. + Mention "client side printing support" also in descr of bin:pkg x2goserver-common. * debian/*.postinst: + Avoid recursive chmod/chown. Recursive chown/chmod is susceptible to hardlink attacks on mainline, non-Debian kernels. * debian/x2goserver.postinst: + Load debconf module, even if not used (Debian Policy demand). * debian/*.templates: + Move x2goserver and x2goserver-desktopsharing templates into separate files. * debian/po: + Add French translation. Thanks to Jean-Pierre Giraud from the Debian project. (Closes DBTS:#905931). * lintian: + Drop unused debian/x2goserver-printing.lintian-overrides. * debian/*: White-space cleanup. * x2goserver.spec: + Mention "client side printing support" in all pkg descriptions. + Regression fix: Use "desktopsharing" package name above its description, not copy+pasted "extensions". + Regression fix: Make /etc/x2go/desktopsharing be owned by x2goserver- desktopsharing. + Exclude x2go*-desktopsharing scripts and man page in %files x2goserver. . [ Mihai Moldovan ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.3): - x2goserver/lib/x2gocheckport: remove executable flag. This file is STILL not meant to be executed directly. - libx2go-server-db-perl/Makefile: make sure our {C,LD}FLAGS are always appended to the user-provided ones. - x2goserver-desktopsharing/bin/x2goterminate-desktopsharing: replace historical "egrep" with "grep -E". - x2goserver-desktopsharing/bin/x2goterminate-desktopsharing: don't use negative exit codes. - x2goserver-desktopsharing/bin/x2goterminate-desktopsharing: more curly braces, quotes etc. - x2goserver-extensions/bin/x2goserver-run-extensions: replace historical "egrep" with "grep -E". - x2goserver-extensions/bin/x2goserver-run-extensions: don't use negative exit codes. - x2goserver-extensions/bin/x2goserver-run-extensions: more curly braces, quotes etc. - x2goserver/bin/x2gofeaturelist: replace historical "egrep" with "grep -E". - x2goserver/bin/x2gofeaturelist: more curly braces, quotes etc. - x2goserver/bin/x2goruncommand: replace historical "egrep" with "grep -E". - x2goserver/bin/x2goversion: replace historical "egrep" with "grep -E". - x2goserver/bin/x2goversion: more curly braces, quotes etc. - x2goserver/bin/x2gostartagent: use single quotes instead of double quotes for literal strings. - x2goserver-x2goagent/etc/x2goagent.options: re-enable BIG-REQUESTS; newer nx-libs versions (3.5.99.17+) should handle this much better. Fixes: #1325. Fixes: #1321. - misc: copyright updates, but for contributors who haven't been active or requested not to be bumped. - misc: switch to HTTPS-based URLs where appropriate. - misc: update Oleksandr's email address. - misc manpages: pre-release date update. - libx2go-server-db-perl/src/libx2go-server-db-sqlite3-wrapper.c: revamp wrapper, alike to what was done in x2gobroker. * x2goserver.spec: + Pull in openSUSE-release manually on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed to work around a bug. + Also pass %{__global_{c{,pp},ld}flags} down via {C,LD}FLAGS. + Bump nxagent dependency up to 3.5.99.17+. * debian/x2goserver-desktopsharing.postinst: + More curly braces, quotes etc. * debian/x2goserver-desktopsharing.config: + More curly braces, quotes etc. * debian/x2goserver-desktopsharing.postrm: + More curly braces, quotes etc. * debian/libx2go-server-db-perl.postinst: + Replace historical "egrep" with "grep -E". * debian/x2goserver.config: + Replace historical "egrep" with "grep -E". + More curly braces, quotes etc. * debian/control: + Bump nxagent dependency up to 3.5.99.17+. * debian/copyright{,.in}: + Merge copyright entries. + Fix links to our wiki and update to HTTPS. . [ Orion Poplawski ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.3): - x2goserver{/bin/x2gostartagent,-x2goagent/etc/x2goagent.options}: allow setting nxagent nx/nx options on the server via x2goagent.options. Fixes: #1322. Regards, Mihai Moldovan

X2Go Desktop Sharing (3.2.0.0) released
by Mihai Moldovan 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

Dear all The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2godesktopsharing''. New gains of this version of ,,x2godesktopsharing'' are: o port to Qt5 (only SLES 11.x builds continue to use Qt4) o move x2goserver-related functionality to X2Go Server o support installation-time configuration via debconf (questions about package setup) and defaults for RPM-based distributions o build fixed for newer CentOS/Fedora versions o updated translations The X2Go Project thanks Ricardo Díaz, Robert Parts, Ruda Vallo and Sébastien Ducoulombier for improving the internationalization support of our software. *** IMPORTANT NOTE *** Since some functionality has been moved into X2Go Server, please wait for the X2Go Server 4.1.0.3 (or higher) release BEFORE you update this package. This package now contains the graphical interface only. It will be more or less useless without the proper x2goserver integration. *** IMPORTANT NOTE *** X2Go Component: x2godesktopsharing Version: 3.2.0.0 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1543377632 Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2018 05:00:32 +0100 Changes: x2godesktopsharing (3.2.0.0) RELEASED; urgency=medium . [ Mihai Moldovan ] * New upstream version (3.2.0.0): - sharetray.cpp: fix misleading if indentation warning. - sharetray.cpp: fix another misleading if indentation warning. - accessdialog.cpp: re-enable Qt4 compatibility. - misc: pre-release copyright updates. - misc: fix Oleksandrs mail address and last name. - misc: fix links and switch to HTTPS URLs where appropriate. * x2godesktopsharing.spec: + Pull in redhat-rpm-config manually. This should probably be done by something else, like... gcc or qmake or qt(4)-dev, but it isn't. + Whitespace only. + Add Pre-dependencies on shadow/pwdutils/shadow-utils for scriptlets. + Remove obsolete EPEL 5 support. + Whitespace only. + Build against Qt5. + Use qmake-qt5 globally. + Call lrelease before running qmake. + We actually care about SLE{S,D} 11.x still... fixup comment. + Fix lrelease-qt5 call (missing number). + Use Qt4 for SLES 11.x builds. + Remove first erroneous Group line. . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (3.2.0.0): - Drop KDevelop configuration files. - x2godesktopsharing.pro: Define TARGET as x2godesktopsharing. - simplelocalsocket.cpp: Stop using deprecated QString::toAscii() function (replace it by toLatin1()). - Drop build cruft (moc_listdialog.cpp). - Add possibility to have a system-wide settings file in /etc/x2godesktopsharing/settings. The user preferences always supersede the system-wide settings, so system-wide settings can act as a default set of settings, but not as a limitation to the user. - Make the desktop sharing group configurable system-wide and by the user. - man/man8/x2goterminate-desktopsharing.8: Grammar fix. - resources.qrc: Rename file from resources.rcc. - Replace QMessageBox based access dialog by a QDialog based access dialog. QMessageBox in Qt5 is not suitable for adding a QCheckBox widget into it anymore. - Rephrase notifications (we need a i18n run already anyway...). - Add a soothing notification to the local user when the local user actively disconnects the remote user. - Don't create empty parameters in .x2godesktopsharing/settings as '<param>=@Invalid()' but really as empty strings. - Fix auto-accept and auto-deny based on whitelists and blacklist. Regression fix for Git commit ef3dfac2. - Drop forgotten-to-remove man8 man pages (moved over to x2goserver src:pkg). - Re-generate .ts translation files (run Qt5's lupdate). - dlg.ui: Update the about dialog. - Fix copyright headers (development started in 2006, not 2009). - Drop Oleksandr and Heinz from the x2godesktopsharing.features file. No work contributed by them. - Update Oleksandr's mail address in all headers etc. - i18n: Update German translation. - Update upstream version string in man page and sharetray.cpp. - White-space cleanup. - x2godesktopsharing.pro (et al.): Integration Czech translation file into build. - Drop all type="obsolete" and type="unfinished" tags from Czech translation file. Probably not wanted by the translator. * debian/*: + Convert to DH packaging style. Build against Qt5. * debian/control: + Bump Standards-Version: to 4.2.1. No changes needed. + Use https:// URLs in Vcs-Browser: and Homepage: fields. + Drop empty R field. * debian/rules: + Add dh_clean override, so that the build dir gets tidied up properly after build (this really needs to go into the qmake .pro file, but debian/rules is easier...). + Pass-through of compiler flags to qmake call. + Run lrelease during auto-configure. Make sure all resources are available for building the executable. * debian/x2godesktopsharing.menu: + Drop file. The menu file is not allowed if a .desktop file is present. * debian/<debconf>: + Add debconf configuration dialogs that facilitate setting the system-wide default desktop sharing user. + Add two more questions asking for auto-start on logon and auto-activation on logon.of X2Go Desktop Sharing applet. * debian/copyright: + Turn into DEP-5 copyright file format style. + Update copyright attributions. * debian/x2godesktopsharing.install: Add EOL at EOF. * x2godesktopsharing.spec: + Don't try to copy scripts from bin/* into buildroot. They are gone now. + Package needs to own /usr/share/x2go/versions. + Also bump upstream version (again) in .spec file. . [ Ricardo Díaz ] * New upstream version (3.2.0.0): - Update Spanish translation file. . [ Robert Parts ] * New upstream version (3.2.0.0): - Update Estonian translation file. . [ Ruda Vallo ] * New upstream version (3.2.0.0): - Initial translation of X2Go Desktop Sharing to Czech. - Update Czech translation file. . [ Sébastien Ducoulombier ] * New upstream version (3.2.0.0): - Update French translation file. Regards, Mihai Moldovan

NX redistributed (3.5.99.17) released
by Mihai Moldovan 27 Nov '18

27 Nov '18

Dear all The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,nx-libs''. This release, as usual, tracks the release as tagged by The Arctica Project. In addition to this, our new X2Go version includes the latest three commits from the current Arctica nightly repository as well, which are fixing Debian-related packaging and synchronizing state with the downstream Debian package. For more information, please refer to https://arctica-project.org/ and especially https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs, where most development takes place. X2Go Component: nx-libs Version: 2:3.5.99.17-0.0x2go1 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1543287871 Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2018 04:04:31 +0100 Changes: nx-libs (2:3.5.99.17-0.0x2go1) RELEASED; urgency=medium . * Bump revision up.

CUPS-X2Go (3.0.1.2) released
by Mihai Moldovan 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

Dear all The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,cups-x2go''. New gains of this version of ,,cups-x2go'' are: o *SuSE packaging fixes o build fixes for newer Fedora releases X2Go Component: cups-x2go Version: 3.0.1.4 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1542870044 Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2018 08:00:44 +0100 Changes: cups-x2go (3.0.1.4) RELEASED; urgency=low . [ Mihai Moldovan ] * New upstream version (3.0.1.4): - misc: update copyright notices. - cups-x2go: clarify *what* temporary file we want to get cleaned up automatically by File::Temp. * debian/control: - Maintainer change in package: X2Go Developers <x2go-dev(a)lists.x2go.org>. - Uploaders: add myself. Also, force a rebuild due to the changed versioning. * cups-x2go.spec: - Fixup %{_datadir}/ppd/ directory owning. On SLE{S,D} 11 and 12, this directory is owned/provided by cups-drivers and cups-filters respectively. On OpenSuSE systems prior to 13.2, this directory was not provided by any package, so cups-x2go has to own it. OpenSuSE 42.1+ provides cups-filters that owns this directory, consistently with SLE{S,D} 12. OpenSuSE 13.2 is a special case: even though the cups-filters package is available there (and also owns %{_datadir}/ppd/), it conflicts with the cups package, which makes it useless. Let cups-x2go own this directory instead on OpenSuSE 13.2. - Grammar fix in comment only. - Build-Require perl-generators on Fedora, since perl-generators (and hence Perl) was removed from the Build Root. The Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Perl say to build-depend upon perl-generators whenever a perl script or module is installed. Regards, Mihai Moldovan

Upcoming Deprecation of EOL Distributions
by Mihai Moldovan 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

Hi In order to lower resource stress when building packages, I plan to deprecate support for distributions that have reached End Of Life on December 31th 2018. This includes the following distro versions: - Fedora o 26 o 27 - OpenSuSE o 42.1 o 42.2 - SLES o 12.0 Ubuntu builds are ceased automatically after upstream deprecation (minus special exceptions). SLES 12.0 builds will be replaced by SLES 12.3 (12 SP3) builds, since SLE 12.0 has long been deprecated and newer versions include proper Qt5 support, which the initial version lacked. After deprecation, no new builds will be published and existing builds will be moved to the archive repositories to discourage users from installing unmaintained software. Mihai
