Ok, that would be even easier to achieve.

Of course, what I was trying to say is if the official repository offering the nx-libs should 
provide all the old source code as well it would have to be changed completely.

Sorry, of course I meant your x2go repo (have been working on a github repo just yesterday...).

I do not agree. If you look at the code and do not know why some code has been included it is very 
helpful to isolate the commit where it came into the code and compare that with the commit message 
you might get a much better unterstanding. My impression is that there are some guys around that 
have some insight into nx but there's no one having the full understanding.

Regarding the "other fields" issue. I am still investigating the reason for Bug #585.
