Bug#719624: Upgrading xrdp



Hi,

might I suggest keeping the old and new xrdp packages in parallel for a while? Maybe call the latter xrdp-git, then fold it into xrdp once there is a release? It sounds to me like there were quite a lot of (upstream) changes between the two and I'm not sure how clean the upgrade path is, teething problems etc.

Cheers,
Christian

I do not see any good reason for this kind of advise.  Mike, could you
please confirm that you are against keeping the upstream source inside
the archive.  IMHO this is against a very common gbp workflow and in
this specific case I think its definitely needed.

How has got this knowledge and how.

Fully ACK.  Good to know that upstream is somehow convinced.

Thanks for your work on this
