While I was too young a developer when this thread first appeared, I now |
| 2 |
have a few things to report in this relaunch ;) |

|

On the NX servers side: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
* servers based on NX 2.1 code are now in portage, including the binary |
| 7 |
free edition from Nomachine (the NX developers), and freenx 0.6 |
| 8 |
* both of these servers now work on ~amd64 (multilib only though) |
| 9 |
* 2x terminal server and client are now in portage: GPL (even the |
| 10 |
NX client) and based on Nomachine's 1.5 code base |
| 11 |
* 6 (old) packages were removed from the tree, replaced by net-misc/nx |
| 12 |
* NX overlay provides a native 64-bit nx/freenx for the adventurous |
| 13 |
* bugzilla NX bugs count is down to 3 :) |
| 14 |

With fellow dev grobian, I've also started to get GNUstep in Gentoo back |
| 16 |
in shape (i.e clean, easy to use, up to date, ...). |
| 17 |
You can check the progress in the new gnustep overlay: |

|
| 20 |
Improvements include: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
* support for new gnustep-make 2.0 |
| 23 |
* heavy rewrite of the gnustep eclasses and base ebuilds |
| 24 |
* less polluting of the user profile (no more need to source exernal |
| 25 |
scripts that tinker with the linker path) |
| 26 |
* easier-to-write ebuilds |
| 27 |
* version bumps everywhere (and a few new packages, as a |
| 28 |
promising-looking cairo backend) |
| 29 |
* under-the-hood fixes and enhancements here and there |
