Dear all

The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2gothinclient''.

New gains of this version of ,,x2gothinclient'' are:

o depend upon nodm instead of lightdm (unless using the MATE minidesktop feature) for dependency reasons o updated dependencies for buster o updated USB mount script o fixed X2Go Client desktop link (MATE minidesktop) o systemd support for the cdmanager and displaymanager o miscellaneous packaging and visual changes

X2Go Component: x2gothinclient Version: 1.5.0.1 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1574997407 Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2019 04:16:47 +0100 Fixes these bug report(s): 1364 Changes: x2gothinclient (1.5.0.1) RELEASED; urgency=medium . [ Mihai Moldovan ]

• New upstream release (1.5.0.1):
  • management/etc/x2gothinclient_settings: remove heuler from apt line.
  • management/etc/x2gothinclient_settings: add "extras" component.
  • misc: update copyright notices.
  • misc manpages: pre-release version and date updates.
• usbmount/x2gousbmount:
  • Whitespace- and comment-only changes.
  • Rework x2gothinclientd check.
  • Remove uni_xlate from ntfs and vfat mounts, add utf8 option to vfat mounts and document this choice.
• debian/control:
  • Add hicolor-icon-theme as an alternative to nuvola-icon-theme.
  • Replace lightdm dependency with nodm for now. This breaks MMD! Nodm is a bad choice in general, but lightdm has "dependency problems" (requires a package that provides the logind virtual package) and is apparently "too big". However, nodm is stale software and upstream considered replacing it with a lightdm wrapper, so let's see where that gets us... . [ Stefan Baur ]
• New upstream release (1.5.0.1):
• usbmount/x2gousbmount:
  • Pull (most) changes from doc:howto:tce wiki page. . [ Mike Gabriel ]
• New upstream release (1.5.0.1):
  • 19_x2gothinclient-minidesktop.gschema.override: Explicitly use MATE- specific theming of the desktop UI. (Fixes: #1364).
  • Install minidesktop's background SVG to DATADIR and symlink to it in ETCDIR.
  • Provide empty/dummy FreeRDPv2 known_hosts2 file if not already there.
  • management/share/etc/x2gothinclient_init.d/010_x2gothinclient-fresh-home: Make X2Go Client desktop link executable, so that it becomes a real desktop link.
  • minidesktop/init/: Drop init script for mini desktop variant. Always been a no-op script.
  • Provide systemd service files for x2gothinclient-cdmanager and x2gothinclient-displaymanager.
  • init scripts: Use /run rather than /var/run for placing PID files.
  • minidesktop: Rename LTSP display manager override script to 88-... (from 60-...). As suggested by Alkis Georgopoulos.
• debian/rules:
  • Convert to pure debhelper rules file.
  • Remove Qt5 build cruft from cdmanager/powerej/.
• debian/control:
  • Prefer lightdm over nodm for the minidesktop variant. With lightdm the minidesktop is set-up out of the box.
  • Add Rules-Requires-Root: field and set it to "no".
  • Bump Standards-Version: to 4.4.1. No changes needed.
  • Don't use first person plural pronoun in LONG_DESCRIPTION.
  • Add D (any bin:pkg reported by lintian): lsb-base.
• debian/{control,x2gothinclient.<scripts>}:
  • Drop all transitional packages.
• debian/x2gothinclient-minidesktop.init:
  • Drop init script, never had functionality.
• debian/x2gothinclient-*.serivce:
  • Symlink to upstream files.
