| sunweaver | cjwatson: (2nd ping) I just checked nxproxy src:pkg and nxcomp:pkg. All Ubuntu specific changes have been in nx-libs for ages. It should be safe, say rather highly recommendable to drop these old nxcomp/nxproxy package mummies and have them replaced by maintained code from nx-libs. | 10:27 |
|---|---|---|
| sunweaver | cjwatson: can you do the required steps for this? | 10:27 |
| cjwatson | sunweaver: How about nxcompshad? That's the other source package being replaced here | 11:48 |
| cjwatson | sunweaver: It's pretty old so it's probably all replaceable, but it does need to be checked | 11:49 |
| sunweaver | cjwatson: nxcompshad is also part of nx-libs nowadays. | 13:23 |
| sunweaver | It is only used for building nxagent (the nx-X11 Xserver optimized for low bandwidth connections) | 13:24 |
| sunweaver | no other package should depend or build-depend on it. | 13:24 |
| sunweaver | in older times, the developers misunderstood how to build nxagent flawlessly. The only meaningful approach was to ship all NX components in one source project. | 13:25 |
| sunweaver | nxproxy is a frontend for nxcomp. | 13:26 |
| sunweaver | nxagent is a nested Xserver | 13:26 |
| sunweaver | these days, nxagent's X-client nature builds against a special lib(NX_)X11 and against various X-client libs (libXinerama, libXrandr, etc.) from X.org. | 13:27 |
| sunweaver | nxagent also build-requires nxcompshad for shadow session support | 13:27 |
| sunweaver | the graphical compression is handled by nxcompext which in old times was provided as a shared library (which was complete non-sense). | 13:27 |
| sunweaver | in fact, it is an Xserver extension, so it is shipped in the DDX code these days. | 13:28 |
| sunweaver | but it seems nxcompext never appeared in Ubuntu. | 13:28 |
| sunweaver | the nxcompshad version in Ubuntu is more rotten old, then the nxcomp. | 13:29 |
| sunweaver | We, as in nx-libs upstream team, reworked great portions of the code, threw out a lot of stuff and reworked the nx-X11 Xserver code base like hell (3.000.000 lines of code dropped). | 13:29 |
| cjwatson | too much information :) | 13:30 |
| sunweaver | at the same time, we (upstream nx-libs, esp. people from X2Go project) have provided a clean upgrade path for the packages found in Ubuntu. | 13:30 |
| cjwatson | I don't want to know all that, I just needed to check that there were no outstanding Ubuntu patches | 13:30 |
| sunweaver | all those Breaks:/Replaces: are in the Debian package nx-libs, as well. | 13:31 |
| sunweaver | cjwatson: no Ubuntu patches that haven't been merged upstream. | 13:31 |
| cjwatson | that's all I need to know, thanks | 13:31 |
| sunweaver | and the upgrade path of the package is also existent. | 13:31 |
| sunweaver | thanks to you! | 13:31 |
| sunweaver | so you are make nx-libs sync now? | 13:32 |
| cjwatson | yes, just done | 13:32 |
| sunweaver | cheers! | 13:32 |
| cjwatson | checking that it gets from bionic-proposed into bionic is your responsibility though, not mine | 13:32 |
| sunweaver | that should be an automatic procedure if no further conflicts / obstructions occur? | 13:33 |
| cjwatson | if | 13:33 |
| cjwatson | but yes | 13:33 |
| sunweaver | what are the criteria for -proposed -> release? | 13:34 |
| cjwatson | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ProposedMigration | 13:34 |
| sunweaver | thx | 13:34 |
| Unit193 | Debian #891296 isn't going to help your other package. | 13:35 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 891296 in src:x2goserver "x2goserver binary-all FTBFS: chmod: cannot access 'debian/x2goserver/usr/lib/x2go/*': No such file or directory" [Serious,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/891296 | 13:35 |
| Unit193 | Amusingly seems to be fine in Ubuntu though. | 13:35 |
| sunweaver | oh dear... | 13:36 |
| sunweaver | Unit193: thanks. Will take a look. | 13:36 |
