I could probably have the Fedora x2goserver package provide x2goserver-extensions to help with such situations. Please do. For both Fedora and EPEL, if possible.
I just had to work around this in http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2gomatebindings.git;a=blobdiff;f=x2gomatebind...
Thank you very much in advance. [...] Sure, but why even have the x2goserver-extensions sub-package? It requires x2goserver and x2goserver requires it, so you can't install one
without the other.To be *perfectly honest*? I don't know, ask Mike#1.
it's again related to mapping the .deb packaging to the way we package
for .rpm distros.
First, the objective was: having the same package names for both ways
of packaging, so that people can read/write docs alike for both distro
types.
Second, in .spec files, there is no such thing as a "Recommends:"
package relationship, so I used "Requires:" for what is under
"Recommends:" in the .deb way of packaging.
Third, the package x2goserver-extensions and x2goserver-xsession have
been contributed by me to X2Go. In the beginning, I wanted to make
sure to provide some extra stuff that people can add to their X2Go
Server installations. I did not want to enforce their usage on already
deployed systems.
Then... The more bugs had been reported against x2goserver-xsession,
the more I elevated the level of dependency (from nothing to Suggests:
to Recommends:).
About x2goserver-extensions: keeping it as a separate package allows
people (with a .deb based distro--it is under Recommends: IIRC) to
remove the package and disable extensions globally. But now that
several of our own X2Go components use the extension add-on package,
this has virtually become a not-to-do scenario, actually.
I hope that helps to clarify the history of those add-on packages,
that should actually by merged into the main x2goserver package. And...
o Don't forget to scan the wiki.x2go.org site for those package
names and update the passages appropriately.
o Don't forget to provide transitional dummy package that allow
smooth upgrade of systems having old versions of those packages
installed.
light+love Mike
