Dear all,

the X2Go project is proud to officially announce a new X2Go component called ,,x2gobroker''.

The documentation of the X2Go Session Broker (that's its long name)
will soon appear here:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:x2gobroker:start

X2Go Component: x2gobroker Version: 0.0.1.0 Status: RELEASE Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:56:47 +0100 Changes: x2gobroker (0.0.1.0) RELEASED; urgency=low . * New upstream version (0.0.1.0): - Only packaging issues fixed. * /debian/control, /debian/rules: + Add hack that allows building the package with python2 or pysupport, depending on what's present on the build system. (Fixes: #135). . x2gobroker (0.0.0.7) RELEASED; urgency=low . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (0.0.0.7): - Add algorithm to ,,normalize'' hostnames used in session profiles vs. those returned by the broker agent. (Fixes: #133). - Ignore off-line X2Go servers in multi-node load-balanced setups. (Fixes: #132). - Return some sane output to x2goclient if the / all configured X2Go server(s) is/are down. - Tornado: Use RequestHandler.set_header() instead of RequestHandler.add_header(). * /debian/control: + Build-Depend on python-paste, python-nose (testsuite needs them). . x2gobroker (0.0.0.6) RELEASED; urgency=low . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (0.0.0.6): - Rewrite empty user parameter in session profile. Fill in the UID that has been used for broker authentication. - Implement session autologin feature. (Fixes: #134). - If X2Go Session Broker's PAM Auth Service is not available, try to fallback to direct PAM authentication (only works if x2gobroker runs as super-user root). - Switch from webpy to using tornado as http engine. - Divert tornado log requests into the broker's logger instances. - Add workaround to handle bug #138 in x2goclient. * /debian/*.default: - Be more explanatory about the X2GOBROKER_DEBUG option and allow to enable debug mode for the different services independently. (Fixes: #126). * /debian/x2gobroker-daemon.postinst: - Fix home path for user x2gobroker. (Fixes: #127). * /debian/control: - Dependency for python-x2gobroker: python-gevent. . x2gobroker (0.0.0.5) RELEASED; urgency=low . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (0.0.0.5): - Prepare for WSGI based integration into an external httpd. - Monkey patch Paramiko/SSH (adopted from Python X2Go). - Add variable X2GOBROKER_AGENT_USER, so that remote broker agents can theoretically run under another (i.e. != x2gobroker) user ID. - Properly set the Paramiko/SSH missing hostkey policy. * /debian/control: + Add dependency to python-x2gobroker: python-paramiko. * /debian/x2gobroker-daemon.default: + Fix variable names for SSL suport. . [ Jan Engelhardt ] * New upstream version (0.0.0.5): - Avoid using install -o/-g. . x2gobroker (0.0.0.4) RELEASED; urgency=low . * New upstream version (0.0.0.4): - Capture DNS resolver failures on client ACLs in cases where one of the listed hostnames in one client ACL definition is not resolvable. Such a failure will deny access to the corresponding session profile. - Fix init script x2gobroker-authservice. (Fixes: #124). . x2gobroker (0.0.0.3) RELEASED; urgency=low . * New upstream version (0.0.0.3): - Script x2gobroker-pubkeyauthorizer is now independent from Python module x2gobroker. - Word wrap config files and limit line lenght to <= 80 chars. . x2gobroker (0.0.0.2) RELEASED; urgency=low . * New upstream version (0.0.0.2): - Make CC, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS configurable through build system. - Make host session option a (Python) list, not unicode/string. - Add load balancing support. - Add file logging support. - Add logrotate configuration for x2gobroker log files. - Make the daemon user and group ID configurable through python-x2gobroker.default. - Set log level to CRITICAL if running unit tests. - Perform PAM authentication via an authentication service (the broker runs as non-privileged user, the authentication service as root). - To make SSH pubkey deployment easier, serve the broker's public SSH key(s) under this URL http(s)://<broker_hostname>:<port>/pubkeys/. - Add tool: x2gobroker-keygen. Generate pub/priv SSH keypair for the system user x2gobroker. - Add tool: x2gobroker-pubkeyauthorizer. Retrive broker's public SSH keys and install them (on X2Go Servers with x2gobroker-agent
installed). - Add man pages for all executables in /usr/sbin. * /debian/control: + Add bin:package x2gobroker-agent. * /debian/x2gobroker-daemon.init: + Handle stale PID file and already running daemon. + Handle different situation for X2GOBROKER_DAEMON_USER. Make sure the getpass.getuser() function sees the correct effective UID. + Make sure the unprivileged daemon user (x2gobroker) has access to the PID file directory. * postinst/postrm scripts: + The user x2gobroker is required by x2gobroker-agent and x2gobroker- daemon. So now both bin:packages provide that user account. . x2gobroker (0.0.0.1) RELEASED; urgency=low . * Initial upstream version.

Regards, Mike Gabriel
