[SOLVED] freenx server slackbuild missing in slackware 14.1 ?

nass · 05-18-2015, 08:00 AM

Hello everyone,
I realised that "freenx" is missing in slackbuid 14.1 repositories.
It is still there in slackware v14.0 so I guess one can get the files from there.

However, it is not convenient when sbopkg is used and repo14.1 is selected.

Is there a way to include missing slackbuilds in the latest repository?

Thank you

This is likely due to 1 of 2 things. 1. The developer attempted to update the slackbuild to work with 14.1 and ran into issues s/he couldn't solve. 2. The developer no longer maintains the slackbuild.

You can try to contact the developer and see if they'll respond on what the issue is.

freenx is not opensource anymore (since version 4.x) and the last opensource version don't build on 14.1 so I just dropped it.

an alternative should be x2go but I haven't tried it yet so, if you do, try referring to the maintainer for support.
