X2Go Server (4.1.0.3) 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 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.

  • Bump Standards-Version: to 4.2.1. No changes needed.
  • Mention "client side printing support" also in descr of bin:pkg x2goserver-common.

  • Load debconf module, even if not used (Debian Policy demand).
• debian/*.templates:
  • Move x2goserver and x2goserver-desktopsharing templates into separate files.
• debian/po:

  • Drop unused debian/x2goserver-printing.lintian-overrides.
• debian/*: White-space cleanup.
• x2goserver.spec:
  • Mention "client side printing support" in all pkg descriptions.
