Plan to drop Mac OS X 10.6 support
by Stefan Baur 19 May '15

19 May '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi everyone, I would like to inform you that we're planning to drop OS X 10.6 support this month or during the next few months (depending on your feedback), as part of our ongoing effort to streamline and automate the build process for X2GoClient's OS X versions. Currently, we have to create a separate build for OS X 10.6, which, if we move to new (hosted and virtualized) build hardware, would probably double our monthly costs, so we're trying to avoid that. Rationale: OS X 10.6 is no longer receiving security updates by Apple since February 2014. For OS X 10.5, Apple ceased security support in September 2011. We continued to support OS X 10.5 in X2GoClient until April of 2012. That was a good 6 months over the official end of support from Apple's side. Following that logic, we should already have dropped support for OS X 10.6 around August 2014, so it's long overdue to do so. TL;DR: If you're currently using OS X 10.6 and have no plans or no way to upgrade to a newer release, please speak up now. We might consider providing OS X 10.6 builds of X2GoClient for longer if someone steps up and sponsors the work. - -Stefan - -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVMBiTAAoJEG7d9BjNvlEZpoQIAI2/1qJWfadn+SRETTTD4Hvh 6vu8O16rZGz0X0+rj5lEyFcjRowlTEsiIws5Z/9mQqu/kBYr8+fG3zT2i+yLUamN adUBRFQcFFoS6Y579ZLIwDw9IOm1BJf4i+xmFb5WDflHET/E1uauOcF+XG9SDHQf WQrdN1Zbiu7VcKFXJbtFXAOsAuyLYI1iSTd54GurR12L0t8z8j54sP2VEzDynSX9 01frXMYwBMK+EHZoLjWcJdjHgre95VLqXx0zI1KbCYWP0BPHOikNZTtjIMYI77Qx hqTnZiennSBIscJtRhJhglYIQXDoVAqDAwiGsa+S4L9xZ5JKbYNrXmLraM1zcnc= =AMHP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Release Round After May 23th
by Mihai Moldovan 16 May '15

16 May '15

Hi This is meant as a heads-up. After May, 23th, I will merge currently non-applied patches, apply trivial bugfixes and release new versions of at least the following components: - X2Go Client - X2Go Broker The new version of X2Go Client will NOT yet include the WIP OS X fixes and PulseAudio integration. It turned out that bundling PulseAudio is more complicated than I would have liked and getting things wrapped up is taking longer than expected. I plan to include them in 4.0.4.1, though. X2Go Broker has, likewise, seen a lot of changes that warrant a new release version. This was especially asked for by Mike Gabriel. Other components may also see releases dependent of my judgment.

Hosting VcXsrv Releases
by Michael DePaulo 14 May '15

14 May '15

Currently, whenever I do a release build of VcXsrv (X2Go/Arctica Builds), I commit the necessary files for x2goclient (and PyHoca-GUI) to x2goclient-contrib, and I upload the installers (regular and debug) to code.x2go.org. http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient-contrib.git;a=tree;f=VcXsrv http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/3rd-party/vcxsrv-modified-by-x2g… However, I can also upload the installers to GitHub: https://github.com/ArcticaProject/vcxsrv/releases It would make writing/updating README.md (viewable on GitHub[1]) easier if I uploaded the releases to GitHub. Should I continue uploading them to code.x2go.org also? -Mike [1] https://github.com/ArcticaProject/vcxsrv/ (scroll down)

Last Call! X2Go: The Gathering 2015, Registration ends in one week from today!
by Stefan Baur 12 May '15

12 May '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | X2Go: The Gathering 2015 - 2015-06-19 - 2015-06-21 @ Linuxhotel | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ Hello, everyone! This is an update on the X2Go: The Gathering 2015 situation. ** Please pay special attention to the sections containing the ** ** word "UPDATE" in capital letters. ** Registration ends in one week from today! UPDATE: All beds are booked out by our ten participants! These are, in alphabetical order: - - Alonso, Nicolas Arenas (TheQVD) - - Baur, Stefan (BAUR-ITCS) - - DePaulo, Michael Swinick - - Fleten, Kjetil Andre (fleten.net) - - Gabriel, Mike (DAS-NETZWERKTEAM) - - Heinold, Henning - - Martinez, Nito (TheQVD) - - Moldovan, Mihai (BAUR-ITCS) - - Pedersen-Cook, Mark (fleten.net) - - Wicke, Florian (Hetzner) UPDATE: Thanks to Florian Wicke's employer, Hetzner, we will be able to cover the accomodation costs of at least 4 participants, and we will probably spend the remaining money of Hetzner's sponsorship on food and/or travel expenses. Also, special thanks to Linuxhotel for jumping in and renewing their kind offer, as we had originally selected another location that didn't work out. If you still want to join us, you have the following options: - - You can bring your own sleeping bag and sleep on the conference room floor (in theory, bringing your own tent and setting it up on the lawn should work, too - it has been done before - but if you're really that desperate, please *do* tell me in advance that you're bringing a tent, so I can check back with the Linuxhotel owners). - - You can visit us on a day-by-day basis, sleeping elsewhere. - - UPDATE: You can ask me to be put on a waiting list, in case more beds become available. Regardless of which option you choose: Please DO contact me at X2Go-ML-1(a)baur-itcs.de with the text "The Gathering" somewhere in the subject and bug me publicly on the X2Go-Project list if you don't receive a confirmation by e-mail after a day or two. For those sleeping elsewhere, there's no such hard deadline as for the room reservations, but you will need to "check in" (see "Admission fee" below) for our gathering with the Linuxhotel staff, so please *do* let us know in advance. *Cost overview* UPDATE: An overview of the costs, updated for people interested in taking the sleeping bag or day-to-day approach, is available at: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-gathering-2015#cost_overview *Payment* UPDATE: You will have to pay in cash *on Saturday morning* - or *upon arriving at Linuxhotel*, if you're not staying over night. Sorry, we can't accept credit cards, debit cards, bitcoins or other forms of payment for this event - *cash only*. UPDATE: The only exception to the rule are wire transfers for those participants wanting to pay in advance. Also, all payments must be made in *Euro, not in foreign currencies*. If you wish to pay in advance, please contact me via E-Mail at X2Go-ML-1(a)baur-itcs.de for the SEPA banking details. *Lunch/Dinner/BBQ* UPDATE: We have reached "critical mass" so that we could order lunch/dinner from Linuxhotel as well, if all participants agree. Dear participants: Please let me know whether you would like to [ ] have lunch served by Linuxhotel on [ ] Saturday [ ] Sunday [ ] both [ ] have dinner served by Linuxhotel on Saturday [ ] have dinner at Unperfekthaus on Saturday, like last year [ ] bring your own food/order pizza/fire up the BBQ whenever you want I need your answer by 2015-05-18, so I can make the proper reservations and arrangements!!! Linuxhotel charges 5 EUR per person and lunch/dinner, however, you can expect a discount on that due to the Hetzner sponsorship. Dinner at Unperfekthaus is 15,90 EUR minimum (for 1 hour), 4 EUR extra if you want to extend your stay to a total of 5 hours. Mihai: Bring your student ID for a discount. *Event schedule* The event schedule is still in the making. Note that this year, we will have the option to split up into smaller groups in different rooms for more effective co-working on individual topics, hands-on demonstrations, and for side-topic presentations that may not be of interest to the entire group. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer for a presentation/talk!!! E-Mail me at X2Go-ML-1(a)baur-itcs.de So far, we have two or three topics by Mike#1, one by Mike#2, one by me (probably/hopefully together with Mike#1), and something like 2-4 topics by the TheQVD foilks. As always, we will be updating the Wiki page http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-gathering-2015 as more information becomes available.

Bug#862: Please update createrepo to the latest version in Debian unstable.
by Mihai Moldovan 04 May '15

04 May '15

Package: packages.x2go.org The current version of createrepo leaves trash behind in /tmp/ every time it is executed. The most recent version in Debian unstable should fix this problem and be trivially installable due to it only being python scripts.
