I managed to get X2Go Server (main, 4.0.1.18) to install and work on CentOS 5.
However,
- After I installed, the packages, I had to manually apply the patch I submitted for bug #715 to /usr/sbin/x2godbadmin, then manually run "sudo /usr/sbin/x2godbadmin --createdb"
- I had to manually apply the change to /etc/x2go/Xsession from this commit: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=blobdiff;f=x2goserver-xsessio...
- I had to solve a "dependency hell". I do not have time to document the exact steps one needs to take at this moment, but the dependencies are listed here: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goserver?s[]=epel&s[]=5#epel_5_via_packagesx2goorg (I actually ignored the fuse, fuse-libs, and fuse-sshfs packages because I do not use folder or printer sharing.)
So right now, you can use X2Go Server on CentOS 5, but it will require some work on your part to repeat those 3 tasks on your systems. I intend to streamline those 3 tasks next weekend.

Hi Michel,
There actually is a workaround for #714: manually downloading and installing an RPM: http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714
However, I ran into bug #715, and you will too: http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=715
I'll try to fix #715 (and/or determine a workaround for it) later today.

Hi Michel,
I rebuilt the main packages and I verified that they can be successfully installed now. http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=699
However, I encountered a bug in the x2goserver code itself. It prevents x2goserver from being used on CentOS 5 at all. http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714 Both main and heuler are affected.
Unfortunately, I do not have the Perl skills to fix bug #714. TheUser2 is good at Perl, but he does not know of an easy fix for it; he normally writes his own custom logging code rather than using the Sys::Syslog module. (We discussed this via IRC.) So unless someone else steps up to fix it, I do not know when it will be fixed. Sorry :(

Hi Michael,
I checked the bug tracker and there is an update. I tried to install x2goserver and I've got this error message.
.../... error: x2goagent-3.5.0.28-0.0x2go1.1.git20141114.546.main.el5.centos: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 signature: BAD, key ID 5bfe2b6e error: x2goserver-4.0.1.18-0.0x2go1.1.git20141006.949.main.el5.centos: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 signature: BAD, key ID 5bfe2b6e error: x2goserver- extensions-4.0.1.18-0.0x2go1.1.git20141006.949.main.el5.centos: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 signature: BAD, key ID 5bfe2b6e
Should I uncomment the x2go-nightly lines in the repo file? Thanks. Regards
