 ====== X2Go Packages for Fedora GNU/Linux ======
-===== Adding the needed Fedora Repository to your system =====
+<note warning>Do not mix-and-match packages from the official Fedora repository with packages from the X2Go Fedora repository. Due to differing version number schemes, you will definitely run into problems. If you **really** need to switch between repositories, make sure to uninstall all X2Go packages first.</note>
-To get started you'll need to configure your local system to access the official X2Go Fedora repository. Please keep in mind that this installation manual will guide you through the installation on a Fedora 20 system. The repository will basically offer you packages for i386 and amd64 architectures.
+Select one approach listed here, thus either the official (downstream) Fedora packages repository, or our X2Go Fedora repository and stick to it.
-Please add the file ''x2go.repo'' to the folder ''/etc/yum.repos.d/''.
+Unreleased versions and unofficial (related to the Fedora project) release packages are only available directly from the X2Go project, follow the instructions in the [[#adding_the_x2go_repository_to_your_package_system|second section]] to configure your package manager for this.
-This can be done unsing preferred editor.
+Note that if you are on POWER (ppc64le), you will only be able to obtain X2Go from the official (downstream) Fedora packages repository.
+===== Using the Official Fedora Packages Repository =====
+Most, if not all, X2Go packages are available in the official Fedora repositories.
+<note>The X2Go Project can not provide complete support for these packages. While the current downstream Fedora maintainer is part of the [[doc:organigram|X2Go development team]], X2Go developers generally do not have access to the official Fedora repository. Problems are best handled downstream.</note>
+There is no need to add anything to use these packages.
+You can search for X2Go related packages that are now available for your system via ''yum'' or ''dnf'', whatever is most appropriate for your system:
 <code bash>
-$ editor /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo
+$ yum search x2go
 </code>
-Then add the X2Go repository (binaries and sources) as a couple of new lines (example for Debian wheezy):
+or
-<file - x2go.repo>
+<code bash>
-[x2go-releases]
+$ dnf search x2go
-name=Upstream X2Go Packages (released versions)
+</code>
-baseurl=http://packages.x2go.org/fedora/20/main/$basearch
-gpgcheck=0
-enabled=1
-protect=0
-</file>
+Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2Go packages. You may continue by installing ''x2goserver'', ''x2goclient'' or ''pyhoca-gui'' or any other of the available packages.
-**Note:** If you have not got a folder ''/etc/apt/sources.list.d/'' add the lines to ''/etc/apt/sources.list''.
+===== Adding the X2Go Repository to Your Package System =====
+<note>For unsupported, archived Fedora versions, please refer to [[wiki:repositories:archives:fedora|Fedora Archives]].</note>
-Please perform an update of your APT package database:
+==== Base Installation ====
+Download the .repo file and save it to the correct location:
 <code bash>
-$ apt-get update
+wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo \
+ https://packages.x2go.org/fedora/x2go.repo
 </code>
-After the update you should be able to access the X2Go packages via the apt command family. As a first action you should install our ''x2go-keyring package and refresh the apt cache:
+For reference, the file will also be inlined here, with the original information being available on [[https://packages.x2go.org/fedora/x2go.repo]]:
+{{url>https://packages.x2go.org/fedora/x2go.repo 720px|Fedora X2Go repository definition file}}
+==== Customization ====
+Edit this file with your preferred editor.
 <code bash>
-$ apt-get install x2go-keyring && apt-get update
+$ editor /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo
 </code>
-Now you can search for X2Go related package that are now available for your APT system:
+As a rule of thumb: ''source''-labeled repositories are never needed, unless you want to build packages from source. ''extras''-tagged repositories are always needed.
+By default, the ''release''-labeled repository is enabled and the ''nightly''-tagged repository is disabled. If you want to use the unreleased, more up-to-date packages, disable the ''release''-labeled repository and enable the ''nightly''-tagged repository.
+==== Post-Addition Test ====
+Now you can search for X2Go related packages that are now available for your system via ''yum'' or ''dnf'', whatever is appropriate for your system:
 <code bash>
-$ apt-cache search x2go
+$ yum search x2go
 </code>
-Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2Go packages. You may continue by installing x2goserver, x2goclient or pyhoca-gui or any other of the available packages.
+or
+<code bash>
+$ dnf search x2go
+</code>
+Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2Go packages. You may continue by installing ''x2goserver-xsession'', ''x2goclient'' or ''pyhoca-gui'' or any other of the available packages.
+==== Mirroring This Repository ====
+The packages in this repository can be mirrored via ''rsync'':
+<code>
+rsync -avP packages.x2go.org::fedora </dest/path/of/local/mirror/fedora>
+</code>
