Hi,
it looks like the nx-libs git tree starts with the files contained in nomachines' source release nx-X11-3.1.0-1.tar.gz (and accompanied source tarballs).
I have several source tarballs that have been released before that, e.g.:
nx-X11-1.3.0-6.tar.gz nx-X11-1.3.1-12.tar.gz nx-X11-1.3.2-8.tar.gz nx-X11-1.3.2-9.tar.gz nx-X11-1.4.0-10.tar.gz nx-X11-1.4.0-1.tar.gz nx-X11-1.4.0-3.tar.gz nx-X11-1.4.0-4.tar.gz nx-X11-1.4.0-6.tar.gz nx-X11-1.4.0-7.tar.gz nx-X11-1.4.0-9.tar.gz nx-X11-1.5.0-14.tar.gz nx-X11-1.5.0-15.tar.gz nx-X11-1.5.0-18.tar.gz nx-X11-1.5.0-21.tar.gz nx-X11-1.5.0-4.tar.gz nx-X11-1.5.0-7.tar.gz nx-X11-1.5.0-9.tar.gz nx-X11-2.0.0-31.tar.gz nx-X11-2.1.0-2.tar.gz nx-X11-2.1.0-3.tar.gz nx-X11-3.0.0-35.tar.gz nx-X11-3.0.0-37.tar.gz
(+ accompanied tarballs. See attachment for full list).
I think these should also be merged into the git tree for reference. What do you think?
Uli

What do you think?Uli
You are probably right, but I guess rebasing the whole stuff and
merging in those tarballs underneath tarballs that are already present
is a lot of work which may or may not be worth the effort.
I won't do that due to lack of time. If you volunteer on that task: WELCOME!!!

I will do that, and I think it is not that complicated. The git community offers tools for that kind of jobs. The critical point is how to prepend the old stuff to the current tree. To my current knowledge this is something that has to be done on the server (=github) side. I must investigate further.

how to prepend the old stuff to the current tree. To my current
Prepending is something that is not easily possible, indeed. Esp.
without rebasing everything on the nx* branch of nx-libs.git (and thus
breaking the merge points into master).
Actually, having the history in correct position is not worth a
complete rebase (to me). Many many people have cloned that nx-libs
repo and work with it. We cannot change the commit order, esp. not on
the master branch. This is not an option at all.
What may be an option is creating a new branch that hosts all patches
previous to the NX versions that we currently ship. That branch will
be complete detached of all other branches.

Nope, all Git related work must be done on your local working copy, I
guess. Speaking about Github -> do you mean the provider that provides
us with https://github.com? Or do you mean the central Git hosting
server (http://git.x2go.org). X2Go is not at github.com (at least
officially).
The gain of the all this will be ZERO in terms of pushing NX
development forward. Don't get me wrong... I'd love you to contribute
to our project, but please consider well, if there aren't other fields
of work that you could more sustainably spent your time and energy on.
Thanks+Greets, Mike

Ok, that would be even easier to achieve.

Of course, what I was trying to say is if the official repository offering the nx-libs should provide all the old source code as well it would have to be changed completely.

Sorry, of course I meant your x2go repo (have been working on a github repo just yesterday...).

I do not agree. If you look at the code and do not know why some code has been included it is very helpful to isolate the commit where it came into the code and compare that with the commit message you might get a much better unterstanding. My impression is that there are some guys around that have some insight into nx but there's no one having the full understanding.
Regarding the "other fields" issue. I am still investigating the reason for Bug #585.

Ok. Great. So that's the way to go then...

Ok, getting your point here. By importing tarballs you won't have
proper commit messages, but you will at least have the code diffs and
the changelog diffs. That might help a lot already when someone needs
to investigate things deeper. Let me know what you need from me on the
way. Happy patch extracting!!!
Regarding the "other fields" issue. I am still investigating the
reason for Bug #585.
Ah ok. Great. Ping the bug (585@bugs.x2go.org) once you dig something out.
Best! Mike
