nxcl doesnt need net-misc/nxclient, it builds fine without and has no missing libs afterwards, with revdep-rebuild or something. so the dependency should be removed
Unfortunately, nxcl does require net-misc/nxclient for now, as it needs the nxssh binary (runtime-only). I can't add nxssh to net-misc/nx (that provides source-based OSS programs from NoMachine), as it would trigger a file collision between nx and nxclient (and therefore would require a blocker)
oh im pretty late, sorry. hm is the source available for nxssh? or is there an alternative? the solution could be, nxssh as seperated ebuild, perhaps. thank you :)
Yes it is available in NoMachine OSS sources here: http://www.nomachine.com/sources.php So this can work indeed. I'll look into that (a qtnx not limited to amd64/x86 is good)
if you want, i can create the ebuild. should i incorporate nxssh into net-misc/nx with useflag or a seperated ebuild?
(In reply to comment #4) > if you want, i can create the ebuild. should i incorporate nxssh into > net-misc/nx with useflag or a seperated ebuild? Thanks, that would be great! It will be far easier directly for compilation in net-misc/nx. Some ideas from old nxssh ebuild can probably be reused: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/net-misc/nxssh/nxssh-1.5.0-r2.ebuild?hideattic=0&view=markup
Another solution can also be to backport some changes from upstream svn, one of them being: http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/freenx/trunk/freenx-client/nxcl/?rev=520&sc=1 Seems standard ssh can now be used instead of nxssh, which would remove the dependency altogether
I've used the second option, better to use ssh than yet another fork. This worked well after nxproxy was patched Fixed in CVS: net-misc/nx-3.2.0-r5 and net-misc/nxcl-0.9-r1 (with nxclient USE flag to make nxclient dependency conditional), thanks for the report!
