can you open a new package request for x2goserver ? (and add one link) thanks.

Priority: High => Normal
URL: (none) => http://freenx.berlios.de/
Summary: add new package in mageia => package request: freenx

Freenx is needed for all platforms.
The lack of Freenx is preventing me from moving to Mageia.
I know I could install the Mandriva Freenx package but I would rather have a Mageia package
It is an essential package for using a system as a concurrent multiuser X windows based system.

I see that there is source here http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/freenx/ but it does not appear to have actually been built.  Also a dependency is at  http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/nx/ and has not been built.
How do we get those packages built?

Hi Oliver,

Cc'ing you as you imported nx into svn. Any particular reason it was never built?

Trying to find lebedov's email address so I can ask him the same for the freenx package...

Thanks,

Remmy

Yep,

it does not build and I couldn't find a resolution for this. I have to digg into it (because I would like to add x2go fully).

Oliver Are you saying the nx package failed to build?  What does x2go have to do with building the nx package?

x2go needs the nx libraries, so I can't provide x2go without nx, can I?

Setting version to cauldron to improve the chance that someone will package it. When it is in cauldron, it is expected to be available in the first stable release that follows, but it is also possible to reopen this request for Mga 1, then.

I'm on it but no luck so far on the nx libraries and without them no freenx and no x2goserver.

The freenx-server.spec file refers to the source as http://download.berlios.de/freenx/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz  

I did some further research and it appears that with the reorganization of berlios.de the download location of the freenx-server tarball has moved.  

I discovered that berlios.de has moved to using sourceforge for freenx-server and the tarball download location is now at http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenx.berlios/files/freenx-server-0.7.3.tar.gz
I am hoping that If the spec file is updated freenx-server should build

( I think the reason this is not a problem for older rpm based distributions is that they have the tarball cached locally ).

( Note that if you look at the berlios.de  freenx Files page you will see a link to http://prdownload.berlios.de/freenx/freenx-server-0.7.3.tar.gz but that is just a redirect page to the sourceforge page which the build tools cannot follow ).

Oliver, can this help you out?

FWIW, the problem seems not the freenx or freenx-server package, it builds just fine, and we also have that tarball cached in version 0.7.3 in our svn repository. The problem is the nx package itself.


@Oliver: Why not try to import the Fedora version of nx libraries, they seem to have the same tarballs which we have, but it seems to build fine for them.

FWIW, nx builds fine from a cauldron checkout under mga2, apart from that i don't know what the problem is. Care to elaborate?

x2goserver is in Mageia shouldn't this bug beeing closed ?

CC: (none) => makowski.mageia

Bug is marked as resolved and can be reopen if needed.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
CC: (none) => phaleon
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Reopening since freenx and x2goserver are two different tools, so the request for integrating freenx is still valid

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED => (none)

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

Status: REOPENED => ASSIGNED
CC: (none) => pkg-bugs

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Status: ASSIGNED => NEW
