For the time being at least, there need to be multiple builds of X2Go
Client for Windows. You can read about them here:
http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:release-notes-mswin:x2goclient-4.0.2.0#current_builds
I suggest the following:
Given a release like "4.0.2.0+build4":
http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.0.2.0+build4/
1. I create a subdir called "other-builds" and put all the other builds in it.
2. For all existing releases, I will move the other builds to that new
directory, but create a symlink from their current locations under
/binary-win32/x2goclient/tmp .
I am open to suggestions for other names for the subdir. Perhaps
"non-default-builds"?
And remember that releases such as "4.0.2.0+build4" are newer releases
of X2Go Client for windows, note separate builds, despite having
"build" in their name. They indicate though that the source code for
x2goclient has not been modified, only a bundled dependency (VcXsrv,
openssl, etc) has been updated. Usually I do not even rebuild
x2goclient.exe with them.
