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)
  Upstream Author : Marc André Moreau <marcandre.moreau@gmail.com>
* URL             : http://www.freerdp.com

  Programming Lang: C
  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.
