Hi,
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.
Greetings,

Thanks for introducing yourself! Welcome on board ;-)

Probably we should add here, that my idea at that meeting was, that it would speed things up, if we release the x2go command line client to CPAN.
Feel free to ask, if you have questions regarding CPAN modules. I also can offer my help.
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.
Kind regards Christian

I just got confused that nxproxy is provided by the X2go archive [1] and a package is already in the Debian archive [2].
Did you talk already with the maintainer if you could work together?
Bests,

Good point. I think this is the same package and nxproxy could be removed from the x2go repository.
I did not know there are NX libraries in debian.... http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libnxcl-bin http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libxcomp-dev http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libxcomp3 http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libnxcl-dev http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libnxcl1 http://packages.debian.org/lenny/nxproxy
But I think this is not complete, I miss e.g. nxagent.
With regards, Paul van der Vlis.

As far as I remember correctly only those libraries were packaged qtnx depends on to get it into the Debian archive.
Thanks,

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.
With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
