Hi everyone,
sorry I didn't resurface sooner - some of you might remember my list of questions from March 2011 (<https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-dev/2011-March/001817.html>) - but I had to delay my NX-to-x2go migration plans due to another, more urgent software migration. As the deadline for that migration is coming up, and I'm hoping to meet it, I can now start making plans for my upcoming NX-to-x2go migration.
While most of my users are using Windows clients, a few oddballs are using MacOS.
On <http://www.x2go.org/index.php?id=1&L=4>, it says "x2goclient: * MacOS version (outdated - we are looking for hardware)"
I might get my hands on a used Mac Mini, Model MB138D/A, however, I have no Mac-specific know-how. So, if this machine is useful for one of the developers on this list, please contact me *by e-mail* (no use in spamming the list with "me-too"s). I'm not giving the machine away, but you may use it free of charge for the duration of the tests.
If you are an individual developing on your own, personal time, I will have to require a deposit, something around 150-180 Euro, just to be sure you won't run away with the machine. ;-) You will get your money back once I get the machine back.
Companies with a certain posting history on this list, like Mike Gabriel/DAS-NETZWERKTEAM are exempt from this requirement.
Mike, do you have any idea if pyhoca-gui will run on MacOS?
Kind Regards, Stefan

This is a very generous offer. I guess best practice would be to give
the machine to Heinz+Alex in Treuchtlingen, Germany. Alex is the main
coder of the native x2goclient application. I will be on the phone
with Heinz tonight (who has not yet confirmed the appointment...
poking him in public ;-) ) and discuss your offering. So stay tuned!!!
Mike, do you have any idea if pyhoca-gui will run on MacOS?
As I am neither a Mac User nor a Mac Developer nor a Mac owner, the
answer unfortunately is: no, no idea...
But for someone with Mac+Python knowledge this should not be too difficult...
Thank you very much for your offer in this mail, Mike

I have discussed with Heinz+Alex. They would love to have a system
provided permanently so they can fully integrate it in their build
environment. Temporary solutions are feared to be more work then
benefit.
So my offer is that I could adapt python-x2go, pyhoca-gui, pyhoca-cli
to MacOS (which should not be too difficult). If you could send me the
device I could take a look at Mac development over the next half year
or so?
Greets+Thanks, Mike

FYI, VMWare Player 3 can run Mac OS X. It's not official, but a Google search will tell you how to do it.

So can others (like KVM). However, it is a license vulneration if you
do so (AFAIK): MacOS may not be used in virtualized contexts.
For private testing such an inaccuracy might be tolerable, but not for
public free software development (sigh...).
