Hi all,
I would like to make a release for nearly all X2Go components.
Reason:
o .spec files for SLE builds are now complete o several X2Go components are overdue for a release o x2godesktopsharing has now been fixed on x2goserver's master branch (and already way back on release/4.0.1.x branch).
As this will be my last release cycle in X2Go (see [1]), I would like
to take the chance to do the release cycle together with someone else
(e.g. Heinz, Mihai, Stefan). So that the steps are clear and finally
get documented.
Also, we need to discuss, if it is time to release x2goserver 4.1.0.0
(Git master branch of x2goserver.git) or if we stick with 4.0.1.x
(i.e. 4.0.1.19 as upcoming release). Both branches are ready for a
release. The 4.1.0.0 has Telekinesis and Multimedia Support +
SuperRenicer support.
Furthermore, I also want to release NX-libs 3.5.0.29. There have been
massive changes on NX-libs recently. The code base of actually used
code could be reduced from 93mb to 41mb.
It would be good if as many people as possible could test NX-libs from
the nightly builds on non-productive systems. People interested in a
snapshot tarball, can do this:
git clone git://code.x2go.org/nx-libs.git cd nx-libs debian/roll-tarball.sh HEAD server
@Heinz, Mihai: who of you is available for doing the next releases with me?
@Stefan, Heinz, Alex, Mihai: What is your opinion about releasing X2Go
Server 4.1.0.0?
@Alex: It would be good if you could take a look at the reduced NX
tarball and what I
have removed from it (debian/CODE-REDUCTION_*).
@Orion: you may also be interested in taking a look at the latest NX
changes, I guess.
Greets, Mike

I probably am, depending on when you'll actually do it. Preferably not Tue or Wed.

Isn't SuperReNicer deactivated by default? In any case, the new features could be useful for other people, so why not go for it? Stefan canhas be in charge of triaging all the resulting new bug reports.

Hi Heinz, hi Mihai, hi Alex,

@Heinz and @Alex: Is anyone of you also interested in getting a hang
of the release workflow? I would feel more comfortable, showing that
part of the work to more than one person.

SuperRenice is only present in 4.1.0.0 code base and deactivated by
default (in x2goserver.conf).
I have been using the 4.1.0.0-preview stuff (nightly builds) on most
of my test and production setups for a while and it is the much better
tested code base (compared to what's on release/4.0.1.19).
@Heinz: also the question is: shall the next release round be a bundle
release? Do we have a name for that already?

I built a copy locally - definitely moves stuff around but it appears to be working fine as a drop in replacement for 3.5.0.28.

Yep, some stuff got moved around. Indeed. Thanks for testing!
