Re: NX 3.2.0 packages
I just uploaded. Lots have been done in the packages. - A team was created with some guys that were working on it. https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team - The packaging is hosted at bzr. - PPA repository was created. Can someone take a look at nx and nxcompshad that is in revu?

It's duplicate source code. - There is no security problem because only 3 libs (libX11, libXext and libXrender) are shipped on the package and they can have the security patches ported from dapper. I remember it was a problem because NX was a fork of XFree86. - This libs can be renamed to libXXX-nx. So will not conflict with the Xorg ones. - libXcomp, NXProxy and qtnx (NX client) are already in. We need the server to make the client useful. - Freenx is shell scripts. But we have Freenx-NG that is python. This was another problem when it was proposed to get in some years ago.
