Hello Paul,
Jonas Smedegaard wants to do the packaging of x2go for the official sources. There are several things which need to be discussed, but he said - nothing would "really" prevent x2go on the long run (as we a trying to work on the issues):
The "problems" are part of the nxlibs and they are:
- There is duplicate Code inside the nxlibs - in fact it is a whole xorg server -> as debian tries to avoid duplicate sources, this needs to be changed some time.
- There is code inside the nxlibs which is unmaintained. This is again the xorg code which is outdated and again debian tries to avoid unmaintained code.
Besides those two arguments I don't know about further problems but to avoid licence "problems" a nx "redesign" should be more look like an module for xorg.
If anybody sees any other arguments, please feel free to reply this mail.
best regards,
Heinz

see you on Linuxtag,
Please tell much about the difficulties to get X2go official into Debian. The people who can help are in the room!
( If you don't, I will ask you about it ;-)
With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
