x2go TCE development
by Mike Gabriel 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi Morty, I will have time to work on the X2go TCE environment tomorrow. We are currently setting up a Skolelinux Demo School that shall also be able to test the X2go TCE for thin clients. Will it be OK, if I work on the tmpfs branch you started recently? Or shall I create a new branch?

Re: [X2go-dev] Ubuntu/Debian Try-Out Repositories for X2go packages from Git

Hi Reinhard, hi all, On So 01 Mai 2011 22:08:35 CEST Reinhard Tartler wrote: > The other way round, namely installing the debian packages on ubuntu > systems, has been the recommended distribution method for ubuntu users > for years. Yepp. > [...] About the named details around dependencies you are absolutely right. It is no problem to install Ubuntu lucid packages on Debian squeeze. They should run out-of-the-box. But still: my personal intention about having packages for Debian _and_ Ubuntu at hand is to reduce the questionmarks on the users' side. o you run Ubuntu -> use the x2go ppa o you run Debian -> install from packages.x2go.org/debian. I know that Heinz used to get flooded with personal mails that exactly have pointed to this question: I am using Ubuntu, but I can only see packages for Debian lenny, what shall I do? Or: I use Deb squeeze, but there are only lenny packages... ??? etc.pp. We currently have nightly-built packages available for all current versions of Ubuntu and Debian. These nightly-builds are for developmental testing only. http://wiki.x2go.org/nightly-built_packages_debian_ubuntu For Debian we also have ,,stable'' packages (main area on packages.x2go.org/debian) http://wiki.x2go.org/adding_the_x2go_repository_debian and we should also provide similar packages for Ubuntu, too, in a separate ppa. These are for the users. As long as X2go is not included in Debian (and therefore not in Ubuntu), our main objective around packaging should be providing stable packages to our current user community (I presume that the majority of current X2go users use Debian/Ubuntu). Once X2go is in Debian I would like to reduce package building to nightly builds only, again (speaking for the project internal Debian packaging). Again, I quite like having nightly builds for Debian and Ubuntu. Another current goal is to make X2go code as generic as possible so that people who want to package X2go for other distros may do this at more ease as currently possible (add Makefiles to all packages -> TODO Mike, create tarball releases directly from Git). http://wiki.x2go.org/tarball_releases_of_x2go Note: the packaging for .deb-based systems has two reasons: 1. continue to provide X2go to the current user community until we have X2go in Debian (and conclusively in Ubuntu) 2. developmental testing The first aspect may disappear once the Debian packaging team has started its work. The second aspect we will probably continue ,,forever'' out of our own interests.
