Hi all,
I have enabled vivid (15.04) as a supported platform for the stable and nightly X2Go ppa's and requested a build of all packages. Users should be able to install packages off that now.
Please treat these packages with care. They may or may not horribly explode.
Mihai
I'll setup a virtual machine to try before upgrading my workstation.Been holding off on the latter exactly for the lack of packages for 15.04.

Thank you!
I was only told about missing packages for 15.04 yesterday. Have been living under the impression launchpad was set up to also build vivid packages.

Unfortunately, builds for new versions of Ubuntu have to be enabled
manually for all packages (stable, nightlies, baikal) every half year.
Also packages for Ubuntu versions that have reached end of life need
to be removed manually from the PPAs.

What a huge waste of time.
I still need to add vivid support to the LTS release packages (i.e., Baikal.) I haven't done so far, because I wasn't sure Baikal was going anywhere. I want to go for a new LTS release or dropping LTS releases as a whole, whatever makes most sense.
But given Baikal is supposed to be still supported until September, I probably should add vivid (and hope it works.)
Also packages for Ubuntu versions that have reached end of life need to be removed manually from the PPAs.
Haven't done that yet...
I saw that old releases are automatically removed from the build list when updating the build list, but packages probably stick around and need to be manually removed. Luckily, that should be easier because I don't have to go through all repos and recipes individually...

Baikal builds should work. However, Baikal should be superseded by
$NEXT_LTS. An LTS release scheme in X2Go is useful IMHO.

Exactly. Or place that on $SOMEONE else's todo list.
