Hi Stèphane,
[Sorry, but resending this mail to all to include Jonas Smedeguard
(via pkg-x2go-devel in this thread. May I suggest switching
communication there???]

GREAT!!!!

Basically, our approach of getting X2go into Ubuntu is an open ITP for Debian:
http://bugs.debian.org/465821
For this project a pkg-x2go team has formed on Alioth:
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-x2go/
Everything around packaging for Debian (and subsequently Ubuntu) we
should discuss on the related mailing list
(pkg-x2go-devel at lists.alioth.org):

Please take a look at our Git on code.x2go.org. I have just today
improved installation from Makefile and cleaned up the packages. We
should definitely make sure that we do not induldge in redundant
effort here.
I have not known about NX 3.5 yet (DAMN!!!) Is there an active
community around NXv3 alive somewhere else apart from the X2go
community??? For Debian we will provide upstream NX. That should be
the same for Ubuntu (if you start uploading packages to Ubuntu before
we do so for Debian).
DO you think you can work on our NX code base and do the changes
there? Work on each Git project (nxcomp, nxcompext, nxcompshad) could
start in a Git branch first.
The question is, if it is advisable to update to NX 3.5 first and then
packaging for Ubuntu. My recommendation is to get packages into
Debian/Ubuntu first and then start working on NX 3.5. But I do not
have a clue how dramatic the changes are.
Do you have a clue how intense the effect on x2goagent (formerly
x2goagent) will be???

Again, how about working on Debian inclusion. I am not involved with
Ubuntu policies too much. Will there be syncs between Oneiric and
Debian sid in the future? Or is that pathway already closed?
If closed then I suggest you do your work for Oneiric but for the
Ubuntu p-series we count on Debian sid? What do you think?

Stéphane! Couldn't we arrange that you commit the work you perform to
our Git which then will be synced to our PPAs (lauchpad.net/~x2go) and
from there you upload to Ubuntu main????
This would make much more sense to me. Please apply for team
membership, so that Heinz can give you edit-access to
launchpad.net/~x2go.
I would really appreciated to go this way!!!!

Again, why not join the X2go team???

Greets + looking forward to further exchange (as started in the Debian
Edu / Edubuntu cooperation!!!!)

PS at list: Stéphane Graber and Johnathan Carter are also heavily
involved in EduBuntu development and we have just last week met for an
online meeting dealing about intenseive cooperation between EduBuntu
and DebianEdu. Great that we overlap in the area of X2go as well
(X2go has an active cooperation running with Skolelinux/DebianEdu
Germany!!!)
