my recommendations for X2Go Client versioning:
o release X2Go Client as is on Git master as 4.0.3.2 o merge feature/cleanup branch to master (discussion at our next meeting) o version bump to 4.0.4.0 o release 4.0.4.0 whenever it suits you
Thanks for bringing that up. Yes, that's exactly the plan.
This said, I explicitly built the preview version from my bugfix/osx (/features/cleanup) branch to have it tested more widely. While the code changes were minimal, as already discussed in private, (FIXME: also put this up the mailing list tomorrow!) I didn't test more sophisticated features like the broker or LDAP and there is a chance some resources (images) are not yet correctly wrapped up in my wrapper. I suspect I got it all, but more testing is never a bad idea.
The benefit of this build to the user of course is a way more stable client which doesn't need to be restarted every time a subsequent session is started.
4.0.3.2 will be released based on current master, not my restructured branch(es).
@Heinz, Stefan: IMHO, this is a very got point in time where the X2Go team could release the next X2Go LTS bundle. If needed, I can help with that now. If this shall be done some time later (I really disrecommend that), then you can pull me in via a coaching contract for that (because, no idea when this will be and where I will be by that time).
My understanding of LTS is still very fuzzy. Does LTS merely mean that it's supported for an extended period of time, living in its own directory on packages.x2go.org and that any bugfixes for master are supposed to be backported to the LTS release?
It means:
o extra branches in Git that only get security issues and heavy breakage cherry-picked o dual release scheme (LTS version, main release version) o separate URLs for obtaining packages (see [1]) o support of those LTS branches in Git (and their binary release) for a defined period of time (until the next bundle release, basically) o AND: I have seen several people using the Baikal LTS Bundle!!!
