Is master in a working state or temporarily broken? I'd rather like
rebasing my code on top of master than building on soon-to-be-obsolete code.

In what time scale do you expect to be finished with your refactoring?

Installing via distro mechanisms requires root priviledges. Userspace
installation must certainly be done via "configure --prefix=... && make
&& make install".

If ever I come that far than the behaviour for the current (root)
installation shouldn't be in any way any different.

Well, that goes without saying.

What do you mean by "test"? I haven't yet found that 'make check' would
be available inside the x2goserver directory.
