Bug 250499 – net-misc/xrdp-0.4.1 version bump

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Theunis 2008-12-10 10:16:06 UTC]

This will install xrdp-0.4.1, but it still lacks a few manual alterations.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =net-misc/xrdp-0.4.1
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
cannot find libscp.so

Expected Results:  
# /etc/init.d/xrdp start
 * Starting X remote desktop daemon ...                                                                                                                                               [ ok ]
 * Starting remote desktop session manager ...                                                                                                                                        [ ok ]


Copy the missing new library libscp.so and tools to /usr/lib64/xrdp (depending on arch)
Should update /etc/ld.so.conf to include /usr/lib64/xrdp (depending on arch)
Should replace the sesman.ini and xrdp.ini in /etc/xrdp/ with xrdp-0.3.1 configuration files. Unless somebody understands the difference between xrdp.ini.0.4.1 and xrdp.ini.0.3.1

Warning in the ebuild that indicates users should update their /etc/rc.conf file with an appropriate XSESSION value, and should not be blank.

Users on openrc requires an alternative method of choosing their default window manager and is not set in their /etc/rc.conf if I'm not mistaken. (This should be changed in the /usr/lib64/xrdp/startwm.sh to cater for openrc users)

I have no idea on how to modify the ebuild it self to include these changes.
xrdp included 2 new Makefiles/components. the libscp.so is not copied over, sandbox complains. What is the best approach to including libraries? I would think that binary and sesman should not be installed in /usr/bin/ and the libraries is installed in /usr/lib/xrdp ? My solution to get libscp.so to work was to copy libscp.so to /usr/lib/xrdp and then include that in /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig.

Please assist, I'm new to ebuilds/patching/security.

1. You should not attach copies of existing files to bugzilla.
2. You should read the product descriptions before filing bugs:
Gentoo Linux:   	
The Gentoo Linux Distribution - Ebuilds and System related issues.
If you're unsure where your bugs go, then file them here.

The package has been removed from portage.
