I know from Heinz that there is a thought that the X2go project  
becomes the upstream location for these packages as NoMachine NX3 is  
actually out of the NoMachine support...

As code.x2go.git and the Uni-Erlangen git will be an X2go upstream  
location, we might choose to be free in the setup design.

So the main question here is: is there an NX upstream that is still  
,,alive''? If not, what steps are needed to transfer upstream to  
X2go-git.

OK...

So we should thing about a scheme that shows which binaries are  
included in which source package... I could do this some time next  
weekend. But if you have a proposal I am happy to comment on that.

Greets,
