Latest nxclient, freenx now in Portage

I’ve copied across the nxclient and nxserver-freenx ebuilds from the Gentoo NX overlay. They’re now in the Gentoo package tree, and should appear on an rsync mirror near you within the next hour or so. nxserver-freenx-0.5.0-r1 is the magical version that you’re after.
The new packages support x86 only for the moment; amd64 support will be added back in once I’ve finished installing Gentoo onto my amd64 box, and am able to do some testing.
(I’ve also removed the older nxclient and nxserver-freenx ebuilds from Portage, which should sort out genstef’s emerge -u world for him).
All being well, it should be possible to file a stabilisation bug for nxserver-freenx on the 8th December.

hi stuart,
the new nx package makes me mad.
why nxserver-freenx with nxclient-useflag doesn’t block nxclient-2.*?
the nx-x11 to nx update broke my entire nx system. but i’ll work that and fill a bug report later. is there any documentation around?

Hi,
It doesn’t block nxclient-2.* because that combination worked fine for me.
Best regards,

okay, fixed.
i’d to do the following steps to fix my system:
- mkdir the home directory of the nx-user with a .ssh dir and the appropriate authorized_key file in /var/lib/nxserver (why not under /usr/NX as before?!)
- chown -R nx:users /var/lib/nxserver/db/* (was root:root with rwx——)

why you dont use slots for nxclient-1.5 and nxclient-2.x?

Yay, its good to see everyone trying to polish all this freenx stuff up. One question, when we try out the new things in the overlay, should we post our problems here? OR file a bug? What is your preferred method for doing that?

I’d prefer to see bugs filed, to be honest. It’s easier to keep track of things that way.
Best regards,
Stu
