Hello,

as you've said, after continuous issues, the Guacamole developers are not willing to update to unreleased versions/tarballs.

I've briefly talked with David Woodhouse offlist a few days ago and I've pushed a 15th november 2015 build of both FreeRDP [1] and Remmina [2] at the same time in rawhide (f24). For the moment I've basically ignored guacamole-server at all and I'm waiting on the (promised) 2.0 snapshot of FreeRDP before updating it.

@Pavel, I suppose you are refferring to update directly in Fedora 23 and you were not referring to rawhide. I would be more than happy to push an update to Fedora 23 considering the amount of crashes that Remmina has, but I would wait for the tarball and the Guacamole patch. Otherwise disabled RDP support in Guacamole means chunking away a big part of its features; and I would like to avoid it.

Regards,
--Simone

Thanks Neal.

Simone, what you think? I really want move forward and find way. Remmina have many bugs which should be fixed upstream, but I still can't update.

Hello Neal.
If I right understand you are maintainer of guacamole? Do you wish proceed
with freerdp-compat package only?

Hello.

More than half year in the past freerdp was updated and then reverted
version to current present [1], mostly to allow built guacamole-server [2].

As I see it still stick with that version.
Meantime freerdp move forward. Remmina, which require fresh versions of
freerdp also can't be updated.

Recently our bundling policy changed [3].

 From freerdp depends:
$ dnf repoquery --source --alldeps --whatrequires freerdp-libs
...
freerdp-1.2.0-0.9.git.24a752a.fc23.src.rpm
guacamole-server-0.9.7-1.fc23.src.rpm
medusa-2.2-0.rc1.2.fc23.1.src.rpm
remmina-1.2.0-0.8.git.b3237e8.fc23.src.rpm
vinagre-3.18.1-1.fc23.src.rpm
vlc-2.2.2-0.1.fc23.src.rpm (rpmfusion.org)
weston-1.9.0-1.fc23.src.rpm

$ dnf repoquery --source --alldeps --whatrequires freerdp
...
krdc-15.04.2-2.fc23.src.rpm

Today I have try build freerdp [4] from master and all dependencies
against it.

And again, *only* guacamole-server fails to build with:
In file included from rdp_stream.h:29:0,
                  from rdp_fs.c:27:
rdp_svc.h:28:38: fatal error: freerdp/utils/svc_plugin.h: No such file or
directory
compilation terminated.

It relied on old svc_plugin which has been rid in 2013 year [5].

Main question. Is it a good reason to bundle copy of current version
freerdp into guacamole-server (at least until someone do not willing port
it) and update it for rest of Fedora?

I have not tried to do such bundle yet, but if no one argue I could try do
that with update freerdp and rebuild all other deps too.

Given that the last time someone asked about getting guacamole to work on
the latest FreeRDP, they said they won't do it[1], I'm inclined to suggest
you should go ahead and try that.

Sorry, but I do not very interesting in guacamole and it seams is not very
trivial task.

I have asked FreeRDP to put out a release before[2], and they've just marked
it for "2.0" milestone, whenever that happens...

Another option would be to set up the current FreeRDP library as a "compat"
package that can be parallel installed with the latest FreeRDP from
upstream, which might be possible with some finagling.

That may be an option. Do you think it is a better way? It will require new
review, but still need only for single package.
