[...]Sure, but why even have the x2goserver-extensions sub-package? It requiresx2goserver and x2goserver requires it, so you can't install one without the other.To be *perfectly honest*? I don't know, ask Mike#1.
it's again related to mapping the .deb packaging to the way we package for .rpm distros.
First, the objective was: having the same package names for both ways of packaging, so that people can read/write docs alike for both distro types.
Second, in .spec files, there is no such thing as a "Recommends:" package relationship, so I used "Requires:" for what is under "Recommends:" in the .deb way of packaging.
Third, the package x2goserver-extensions and x2goserver-xsession have been contributed by me to X2Go. In the beginning, I wanted to make sure to provide some extra stuff that people can add to their X2Go Server installations. I did not want to enforce their usage on already deployed systems.
Then... The more bugs had been reported against x2goserver-xsession, the more I elevated the level of dependency (from nothing to Suggests: to Recommends:).
About x2goserver-extensions: keeping it as a separate package allows people (with a .deb based distro--it is under Recommends: IIRC) to remove the package and disable extensions globally. But now that several of our own X2Go components use the extension add-on package, this has virtually become a not-to-do scenario, actually.
I hope that helps to clarify the history of those add-on packages, that should actually by merged into the main x2goserver package. And...
o Don't forget to scan the wiki.x2go.org site for those package names and update the passages appropriately. o Don't forget to provide transitional dummy package that allow smooth upgrade of systems having old versions of those packages installed.
