[X2Go-Dev] X2Go module purposes

[Short, Kermit]

It's certainly something I'd like to try, but if I recall correctly, the firmware is only loosely based on LTS.  The actual OS on the thin client is heavily customized.

Working with debian packages is not something I've done much, and then only to build them rather than deconstruct them.  I do really like the idea of a chroot shell, though.  I'm currently using AIDE to look at changes pre and post build, and then I go through interactive error messages on the IGEL to determine what additional libraries are necessary.

The last time I did this, there were several libraries provided by the LTS footprint that were not provided on the IGEL, so it's a little easier for me to do the scratch build, since I have to do some by hand tracing anyway.  Being able to do this from a debian package in a root shell would be very handy, though!!

Wait, are you saying you know it's a stripped-down Ubuntu LTS
14.04/32-Bit, lacking the package install tools?
That's why you're building everything from scratch?

Why don't you just take the packages from our Ubuntu repository,
download them to whatever machine you have available, unpack their
content, and copy what you need?

You could even do a basic Ubuntu LTS 14.04/32-Bit install in a
changeroot environment, do a regular x2goclient/thinclient install in
the changeroot, and copy over what you need.
