Hello,
I just finished testing nxproxy and nxcomp with x2goclient, python-x2go and qtnx on Ubuntu Oneiric. Test was successful with no regression that I could see.
So I now have:
- nxproxy 3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1
- nxcomp 3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1
Uploading in Oneiric, packages will be available to all users in a few minutes.
As I mentioned earlier, I've been basing these two uploads on a clean NoMachine tarball and re-applied the changes from the existing Debian package and from x2go's git. They can all be found in the (relatively well documented) debian/patches/ directory of the source packages.
Links:
- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nxproxy/3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1
- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nxcomp/3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1
I'd think these two meet Debian criteria for upload, so if anyone with upload rights to Debian can help getting them in there it'd help minimizing the delta between Ubuntu and Debian (as I'd ask for a "sync" from Debian, thereby removing any remaining delta).
The full delta with Debian/Ubuntu's current 3.2 packages is available at:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/72109361/nxproxy_3.2.0-1-1_3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1.di...
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/72109360/nxcomp_3.2.0-7-1.1_3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1.d...
As promised, attached to this e-mail are a few patches which I "think" should be merged into x2go's git repository for future daily builds of the packages.
nxproxy-update-debian-control.patch: proved to not be needed (at least on Ubuntu)
- removes the build-dep on the purely virtual libstdc++-dev which
- adds a build-dep on dh-autoreconf
- suggests qtnx as well as x2goclient
- update the build-dep on debhelper (as the override in debian/rules needs a pretty recent dh)
nxproxy-update-manpage-mention-nx.patch:
- update the manpage to also mention NX
nxcomp-debian-patch-sa_restorer.patch
- patch taken from Debian package, fixes build on ia64 and alpha
nxcomp-debian-update-control.patch proved to not be needed (at least on Ubuntu)
- removes the build-dep on the purely virtual libstdc++-dev which
- update the build-dep on debhelper (as the override in debian/rules needs a pretty recent dh)
- remove duplicate section tag
nxcomp-debian-update-copyright.patch
- update year of NoMachine copyright
The result is that both sources packages are lintian-clean with lintian 2.5 including "I:" tags. The resulting binary packages are lintian-clean with lintian 2.5 though some have "I:" tags warnings that should be fixed in the future (library symbol and some fixes for the manpage), lintian output attached.
I'll now start working on python-x2go, making sure it's in shape to be added to the Ubuntu archive and will get it uploaded so hopefully it should be in Ubuntu by the end of next week (it needs to go through quite extensive review as it's a new package).
Have a good weekend!
