[Bug 450242] New: No "NX" package available for 11.1
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450242 Summary: No "NX" package available for 11.1 Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jnelson-suse@jamponi.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- The "NX" package does not appear to be available for 11.1 The NX package contains nxproxy which is a necessary component in using NX as a client. This means that openSUSE 11.1 is *not* able to function properly as an NX client! I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out why qtnx (freenx-client) did not work only to learn that it is missing a dependency on nxproxy, provided by the NX package. While the new nomad stuff looks very cool, even preferable, there are LOTS of existing NX deployments and excluding openSUSE 11.1 doesn't seem like a good idea. :-( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

While I personally am really looking forward to using nomad, consider that many corporate environments have moved to datacenter-housed (or "cloud-computing") -style resource management, which means that you will often have VMWare or Virtualbox-based Linux and Windows machines accessed via NX or occasionally RDP (and very rarely VNC over SSH). Since NX is probably the most-deployed solution in UNIX-only or mixed environments removing it from the distro could cause more than a little confusion. I find the OBS a wonderful tool and easy enough to use /but/ many people won't even get that far. If this is a done-deal then so be it, however before gold master shipped I wanted to say my piece. Note: the qtnx package (aka 'freenx-client') is missing a dependancy on NX, and will not work without it. Thus, if NX is removed then so should qtnx. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
