X2Go Server (4.1.0.1) released

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 Correct branding as x2goagent, including icons and keybindings. o Work around non-atomic file moves between filesystems when the target is a newer version FUSE-implemented file system (i.e., sshfs). o Moved systemd tmpfiles.d configuration from /etc/tmpfiles.d to /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d. This file is not meant to be configurable. Users should add specialized configuration to a new file in /etc/tmpfiles.d. o Disabled BIG-REQUESTS by default. o Source tarball now ships a MySQL implementation. DO NOT USE! It's not properly hooked in. It is not installed by default. It won't work without manual modifications - on purpose. A sane database code rewrite is required first. MySQL support will be completed in a later, unspecified release. o Debian packaging improvements.

The X2Go project thanks Walid Moghrabi for his valuable input and submitted work.

X2Go Component: x2goserver Version: 4.1.0.1 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1532666760 Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2018 06:46:00 +0200 Fixes these bug report(s): 1266 Changes: x2goserver (4.1.0.1) RELEASED; urgency=medium . [ Mike Gabriel ]

• New upstream release (4.1.0.1):
  • x2goserver/man/man8/x2gostartagent.8: Fix grammar flaw reported by Debian's lintian tool.
  • x2goserver/man/man8/x2goresume-session.8: Fix grammar flaw reported by Debian's lintian tool.
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/bin/x2goagent: Fix license version (GPL-2+ not 3+). This script however is obsolete and should be replaced by a symlink to $BINDIR/nxagent.
  • Makefile.docupload: Switch license to GPL-2+.
  • x2gocheckport: chmod a+x.
  • x2goserver*/: license header hygene. List all copyright holder above the short form license. This prevents the licensecheck utility from being fooled.
  • X2Go: more license header hygene.
  • libx2go-server-db-perl: more license header hygene.
  • X2Go Agent XPM: Rename from x2go.xpm to x2goagent.xpm.
  • X2Go XPM icon: white background, not transparent.
• debian/control:
  • Change D (x2goserver-xsession) on perl-modules to perl. The existence of the perl-modules package is an implementation detail of the Debian Perl packaging.
  • Multiarch hinter script recommends annotating perl dependency with :any.
  • Bump Standards-Version: to 4.1.4. No changes needed.
• debian/copyright:
  • Update copyright.in reference template.
• debian/*: Process with wrap-and-sort -a -s -t -k -b.
• debian/x2goserver-printing.postinst:
  • Make sure /var/spool/x2goprint is always created.
• debian/rules:
  • Add dh-missing --fail-missing override.
• debian/*.{install,manpages}:
  • Utilize install target rather than picking all files from the source tree ourselves.
• debian/:
  • Drop inert file (due to wrong file suffix): debian/x2goserver.link.
  • Drop x2goserver-xsession.links. Symlinking provided by main Makefile's install target.
• debian/x2goserver.postinst:
  • When testing for existence of /etc/x2go/applications, also consider it being a dangling symlink (dangling symlinks are not caught by 'test -e', but need a 'test -L'. Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for helping with this. (Fixes: DBTS#904515). Backported from a Debian patch.
• debian/x2goserver-printing.postrm:
  • Remove x2goprint's spool dir on purgal.
• debian/x2goserver-common.postrm:
  • Properly purge /etc/x2go and /var/lib/x2go. . [ Mihai Moldovan ]
• New upstream version (4.1.0.1):
  • Makefile.PL: adjust embedded version number.
  • x2goserver/lib/x2gocheckport: remove executable flag. This file is not meant to be executed directly, but rather sourced by other X2Go shell scripts.
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/Makefile: do not stage rgb file any longer. Obsoleted, is now hardcoded into nxagent directly.
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/etc: remove rgb file.
  • x2goserver-fmbindings/Makefile: install share/mime/packages/sshfs-x2go.xml as a plain file, not an executable.
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/share/x2go/x2gofeature.d/x2goserver-x2goagent*: make executable.
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/Makefile: replace ${PREFIX}/bin/x2goagent wrapper script with a symlink to the ... x2goagent symlink in the NXLIBDIR.
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/bin: remove x2goagent wrapper script. Unneeded and actually harmful nowadays.
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/bin: add .keep file to keep this directory around.
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/Makefile: it's $(NXLIBDIR), not $(NX_LIBDIR).
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/Makefile: add missing bin component in symlink target for ${PREFIX}/bin/x2goagent.
  • x2goserver-common/Makefile: stage tmpfiles.d config file into ${PREFIX}/lib/. File should not be modified by users.
  • x2goserver-common/: move etc/tmpfiles.d to lib/tmpfiles.d.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: whitespace only.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: use global variable instead of hardcoded string (since the global variable is used latter on anyway).
  • X2Go/Server/DB.pm: add high-level MySQL/MariaDB support. References the X2Go::Server::DB::MySQL module (and functions/subroutines in there) which currently does not yet exist.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: wrap PostgreSQL code in own block, should not have any functional impact.
  • {X2Go/Server/DB/PostgreSQL.pm,x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin}: move /etc/x2go/x2gosql/passwords/x2goadmin or ${HOME}/.x2go/sqlpass to .../x2gopgadmin and .../pgsqlpass respectively. Move is done at run-time, so no user interaction should be required. It requires one database operation to be carried out first in order to trigger the move, but x2godbadmin does not actually use that account information (only generates it), so we should be in the clear.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: generate more secure user-level database passwords.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: split out subroutines into main namespace, call them generically with correct parameters from specialized namespace.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: remove potentially confusing whitespace.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: fix up other try blocks; whitespace only.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: implement MySQL support, based on Walid Moghrabis changes, but slightly amended. Caveat: INCOMPATIBLE DATABASE SCHEMA!
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: update copyright header.
  • UNINSTALL: add reference to remove mysqladmin password file if uninstalling the tarball manually.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: no need to specify or use database for list_users operation.
  • X2Go/Server/DB/PostgreSQL.pm: fix syntax error.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: don't use prototypes when functions actually take arguments.
  • X2Go/Server/DB: add new file MySQL.pm, implementing the MySQL session storage backend. Based on original code by Walid Moghrabi, but modified. Will fail to execute correctly, so do not use yet.
  • X2Go/Server/DB/MySQL.pm: copy over some (modified) functions and use them for validating session IDs, check user names at some places and the like, which will come in handy at a later point.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: whitespace-only change.
  • X2Go/Server/DB/MySQL.pm: move into new X2Go_in_progress_do_not_use top-level directory.
  • x2goserver/sbin/x2godbadmin: error out when encountering MySQL server config for now.
  • X2Go/Server/DB.pm: error out when encountering MySQL server config for now.
  • x2goserver-common/etc/x2gosql/sql: add example MySQL section and add to "supported" backends list.
  • x2goserver-common/etc/x2gosql/sql: reformat PostgreSQL comments.
  • X2Go/Server/DB.pm: don't use X2Go::Server::DB::MySQL for now.
  • X2Go/Server/DB.pm: comment out calls to X2Go::Server::DB::MySQL::*.
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/etc/x2goagent.options: typo fix in comment only.
  • x2goserver-x2goagent/etc/x2goagent.options: disable BIG-REQUESTS; leads to a lot of weird crashes and is currently not implemented correctly in nxagent. Fixes: #1266.
  • x2goserver/bin/x2gostartagent: fix calculation syntax errors, drop useless subshells, don't use -o operator in plain test calls.
  • x2goserver-printing/bin/x2goprint: work around atomicity problems with newer FUSE versions, create .ready file as .notready, move/copy to target file system and only then rename it in a hopefully atomic fashion.
  • *.{8,5}: pre-release date update.
• debian/{control,compat}:
  • Bump DH compat level to 9.
• debian/:
  • Rename config to x2goserver.config.
  • Remove obsolete x2goserver-{extensions,printing,xsession}.dirs files, should be correctly handled via the main Makefile and staging by *.install files.
  • Remove obsolete x2goserver-fmbindings.dirs file.
  • Rename x2goserver.dirs to x2goserver-common.dirs, moving /var/lib/x2go to the -common package.

  • Pull in GCC as a build dependency.
  • Mask out variables in comments to avoid build-time warning messages.
  • Work around build failure on Fedora Rawhide/29+ by pulling annobin in explicitly. Shouldn't be necessary, but the current architecture around redhat-rpm-config requires that.
• debian/copyright.in:
  • Remove reference to rgb file.
  • Remove reference to x2goagent wrapper script.
  • Add .keep file in x2goserver-x2goagent/bin directory.
  • Change reference from x2goserver-common/etc/tmpfiles.d to x2goserver-common/lib/tmpfiles.d.
• debian/x2goserver.dirs:
  • Remove etc/x2go/x2gosql references, already handled by x2goserver-common.
  • Remove all other obsolete entries that should be handled by the main Makefile and x2goserver.install staging.
• debian/control:
  • Bump versioned dependency upon nxagent for x2goserver-x2goagent to the first version that hardcoded the RGB file into nxagent.
  • Pre-Depend on new enough dpkg for the dpkg-maintscript-helper to be available.
  • Change http to https links.
  • Pull in other changes from Debian downstream.
  • Depend upon libdbd-mysql-perl for MySQL/MariaDB support in perl DBD.

• debian/x2goserver.{install,manpages}:
  • Also install x2goumount_* symlinks.
• debian/x2goserver-common.install:
  • Move etc/tmpfiles.d entry to usr/lib/tmpfiles.d.
• debian/x2goserver-x2goagent.{{pre,post}inst,postrm}:

• debian/{libx2go-server-db-perl,x2goserver{,-common}}.postrm:
  • Do not try to run rmdir on /etc/x2go if it doesn't exist. Makes the scriptlet (and thus the purge operation) fail...
