7 Same source tarball, but different ${S} (and different build system) :)
8 nxcl was intended as a generic library, but only qtnx was built on top
9 of it
10
11 As for qtnx, it is the only open-source client in-tree for "old" NX
12 servers, and still does its job.
13 But if we drop packages according to last upstream release, most of the
14 "old" NX packages should be treecleaned too as they have dead upstreams
15 since 2011 (best case):
16 net-misc/neatx (server, 2010)
17 net-misc/nxcl (client lib, 2008)
18 net-misc/{nxclient-3*,nxnode,nxserver-freeedition} (proprietary, 2011)
19 net-misc/nxsadmin (server admin tool, 2008)
20 net-misc/nxserver-freenx (server, 2009)
21 net-misc/qtnx (client, 2008)
22
23 and
24
25 app-admin/eselect-nxserver (not used in x2go)
26
27 The active replacement (though not drop-in) is x2go for an open-source
28 setup, and NX 4 for proprietary (not in tree, bug #488334)
