Since Im new here, I will at first present myself.
My name is Xavier Oswald, Im a debian developer living in Strasbourg - France, and I will help getting x2go in debian.
I met Heinz last weekend during a debian-edu meeting and we get out what need to be done to be able to have x2go to debian, starting by the command line client and then going step by step with the others x2go tools.
Feel free to ask me to have a look if you think an x2go module is ready or anything you want to know for having a good upstream - debian package match.
It would be great getting the X2go clients into Debian. I did also talk with Joost van Baal (a DD here in Holland) to realize the same, but I don't know if he already looked at X2go, and I will tell him you are working on it.
Getting the server packages into Debian will be a problem because of the NX library dependency. Take a look at the pkg-nx mailinglist: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-nx-group/
In short: the NX libraries contains duplicated software like SSH, Xorg, Samba and Cups under a GPL license. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-nx-group/2007-July/000171.html http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-nx-group/2007-July/000185.html
But getting the clients into Debian would be a great first step. QTNX is already in Debian at the moment, an NX client for e.g. FreeNX.
Perhaps we could have a conversation via IRC? Paul: do you use IRC? I'm online the next 9 hours. (Till about 18.00 Netherlands time).
Maybe we could organize such a thing 1 week before have the meeting so we can have as much as possible people attending this meeting.
I don't have free time till monday so if you can propose one or two date + hour it would be great.
I've created a doodle thingie. No need to create an account to use it. Go to http://doodle.com/kmvp4nga5g4rxtad if you're interested in joining the IRC conversation (on #x2go on irc.oftc.net), and indicate at which time(s) you're available.
Thanks, Bye,
Joost
