[X2Go-User] New (unofficial) openSUSE packages available

[Tristan Miller]

Greetings.

The official X2Go RPMs for openSUSE have been broken or missing for
many months.  (See Bugs 1358, 1360, 1403, and 1427, as well as numerous
problem reports on this mailing list over the past year.)  Essentially
it is no longer possible to install X2Go on openSUSE Leap and openSUSE
Tumbleweed using the RPMs provided by X2Go.  (And if you happen to have
X2Go already installed, it is not possible to upgrade your openSUSE
system without removing X2Go.)

I suppose the developers are too busy to fix this problem, so I have
built openSUSE RPMs of x2goclient, x2goserver, and pinentry-x2go myself
using the latest SCM versions:

openSUSE Leap 15.1 packages for x86_64:
<https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/psych0naut:/x2go/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/>

openSUSE Tumbleweed packages for i586 and x86_64:
<https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/psych0naut:/x2go/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/>

I have not contributed packages for openSUSE Leap 15.0 as that
distribution reached end of life earlier this month.  However, if
anyone really needs those packages, let me know and I can see if I can
get the openSUSE Build Service to produce them.

Similarly, if anyone needs any other X2Go packages for openSUSE
Leap 15.1/Tumbleweed, let me know and I may be able to contribute these
as well.

Note that I do not have any sort of automated system in place for
keeping these builds in sync with the latest commits to X2Go.  I
consider my builds to be a stopgap measure until the X2Go developers
fix their own nightly build system.

Regards,
Tristan
