Dear NoMachine developers,

I would like to point you to some (new) information on NX packaging  
for Debian.

First please note the ITPs for NX recently opened (ITP = Debian Intent  
To Package for not-yet-in-Debian software projects):

  http://bugs.debian.org/655618 (NX xcomp/proxy components)
  http://bugs.debian.org (NX agent/X11/compression/proxy components)

Further more, we would like to inform you, that the NX packaging  
workflow has changed a little.

X2Go upstream (http://wiki.x2go.org) has started providing ,,NX  
(redistributed)'', a patched tarball of NX (nxcomp*, nxproxy, nxagent,  
nxauth, nx-X11) that aims at working with X2Go _and_ free NX  
implementations, very probably also with your nxserver 3.5 version.

We (again X2Go upstream) very recently also added an  
enable-Xinerama-support patch to nxagent/nx-X11 which makes nxagent  
work with multiple monitor-heads (recognize the limits of one head on  
maximize).

The ,,NX (redistributed)'' code and patch base is maintained here:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=summary

The tarballs are placed here:
http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/nx-libs/

The tarballs are rolled with this script:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=bin/nx-tarballrelease

These tarballs (client-only for now) are then taken then for Debian packaging.

For now only the nx-libs_3.5.0.2-lite.tar.gz ball. This will be  
uploaded to Debian unstable in the near future.
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/x2go/nx-libs-lite.git;a=summary

The discussion about nx-libs_3.5.0.<redist-rev>-full.tar.gz is going  
on the Debian Developer mailing list, so we will see. We hope to be  
able to upload the full ,,NX (redistributed)'' code to Debian  
experimental for now. For the (from our perspective) full NX  
code+patch base, there is not packaging repository on Alioth, yet.

Thanks for taking your time, hope this mail reaches the appropriate  
people in your business.

The Debian Packaging Team for ,,NX (redistributed)'' can be contacted here:
pkg-x2go-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org

Greets,
Mike Gabriel
