Bug#607699: RFP: opennx -- Open Source NX Client
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I'm the upstream author of OpenNX and just stumbled over this ...
>Upstream already provides Debian pacages, but I haven't investigated
>them yet; I have seen that there's a directory "wxWidgets patches" on
>the sourceforce download page, looks like it's required to patch
>wxwidgets. So packaging this might not be trivial...
Just some comments on that:
There's *no* wxWidgets patch necessary (not anymore for OpenNX). The
original issue of wxWidgets (http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/8747)
still exists (it's fixed in wxWidgets SVN but the fix never made it into
any stable versions), but i managed to work around that.
However,
*My* current Debian/Ubuntu packages do something that probably never
would be accepted by some debian QA process: They bundle nxssh(+patches)
as well as several NX libs into a single package.
So in order to get an official package those would have to be splitted
into separate packages (i would use Ubundtu PPA stuff if it were
up-to-date but unfortunately it isnt).
Furthermore, they use a directory (/usr/NX) which is not conforming to
FSS - reason for that: To be 100% compatible to NoMachine's proprietary
client...
BTW, you can inspect/fetch the packaging sources at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=opennx&project=home%3Afelfert
(that's OBS which covers debian build targets)
Cheers
-Fritz
