[aur-requests] [PRQ#2846] Deletion Request for nx-all
Chris_TR [1] filed a deletion request for nx-all [2]: The package has been outdated for a while and although it's not orphan, it hasn't been updated since it got adopted. Per the notice at the top of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FreeNX , it's not supported and it's been replaced by X2Go.

Why should it be deleted then? X2go cannot replace FreeNX, it's not compatible all in both sides http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:faq:start FreeNX 4 is not the same of FreeNX 3 and cannot provide the same functionality, therefore until I find a valid reason to break compatibility with NX and with the wiki itself, I won't update FreeNX to v4. If you want I could submit a separated FreeNX v4 package. However I cannot find a single reason to delete the working nx-all package. -- Muflone

If you want I could submit a separated FreeNX v4 package. A better approach would be to create a separated package for older FreeNX 3 and update the nx-all package to v4 (if it works). -- Muflone
Actually, yeah, that sounds much better: have both packages, v3 and v4.
Need any help with the v4 packaging?
