CentOS developers,

I now have updates to nx/freenx that address the following bug reports:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?idD28
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?idD22
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?idD09
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?idD08
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?idC98

Could you please publish them in the extras repo as before? You can
find the srpms here:

http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx/5/SRPMS/nx-3.4.0-5.el5.ay.src.rpm

and

http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx/5/SRPMS/freenx-0.7.3-5.el5.ay.src.rpm

I thanks people who reported bugs, offered fix/enhancements and
performed testing.

    I am aware that Tru has been busy; otherwise I would have asked him
    like I did the last time. Who else can sign and push these packages?
    While there may not be urgency with these packages, all the hard work
    has been done by users/helpers, leaving only the last step to be done
    by CentOS devs. But that step is actually becoming the "hardest" part.
    :(

    Thanks for building the packages. I have tested them (i386 and x86_64)
    and found no issue. Could you go ahead and publish them, please?

    Perhaps, I should try asking again.

    Karanbir, will you please push the packages to the extras repo? And
    let's close those bug reports, too.

    Is that going to affect people who currently have the epel package
    installed and also have extras enabled? I haven't had much trouble
    with the overlap yet but it makes me nervous when packages flip back and
    forth in updates.

    As far as I can see, EPEL does not have NX. The only 3rd party repo
    that carries freenx/nx is ATRpms. But their nx is still in the
    "bleeding" category and is not maintained.

    But I could be wrong. If you find new info, please share it here.

    Do these packages overlap ? Is there any possibility of talking to the
    maintainer in epel and see if we can sync releases ?

    There is no freenx either in fedora ( since F9) or in EPEL. Hence
    nothing to overlap with.

    Oh, but ... on my Fedora 13 box, I have:

    rpm -qa | grep nx
    nxclient-3.4.0-7.x86_64

    My apologies, I did not notice that there exists a co-maintainer. Please
    disregard my previous mails.

    But yet, despite my previous errior, the packages are not branched for
    EPEL, so my previous evaluation ( no conflicts ) still stands.

    Yes, that agrees with my previous post regarding "no NX in EPEL".

    Actually the stuff in fedora is similar to the ATrpms packages -- nx
    is obsolete. If you happen to know the co-maintainer, could you ask
    him/her to update it?

    So, currently, what CentOS provides is most up-to-date. :-D

    I thought you never sleep, Manuel. :-P

    No, I do not know him except for occasional bug reviews. But a RFE via
    bugzilla.r.c can be filed by anyone :)

    Hmmm, sorry - I'm not sure why I thought it was. Maybe I confused it
    with backuppc as something that overlapped.
