Bug#824358: ITP: freerdp2 -- RDP client/server for Windows Terminal Services
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel@das-netzwerkteam.de>
* Package name : freerdp2
Version : 2.x (Git snapshot)

Description : RDP client/server for Windows Terminal Services
FreeRDP is a libre client/server implementation of the Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP).
.
The new major upstream version (well, upstream is not tagging versions,
but we have one upstream dev on the packaging team who recommends Git
snapshots) provides new ABI/API. This new source will supercede the
currently available Debian source package "freerdp".
.
From now on, upstream will support parallel installations of multiple
major upstream releases. So shipping both FreeRDP versions in Debian
unstable for a while is possible. However, only freerdp2 will be
made available in Debian 9.
.
Packages depending on FreeRDP shared libraries should start migrating
their packages to the new ABI/API for FreeRDP 2.x.
.
A transition bug will be file for monitoring this change-over,
once the freerdp2 src:package has landed in unstable.
