====== Extended Security Release for X2Go: Saimaa Bundle Release ======

The X2Go project is proud to provide X2Go components in an extended security-supported bundle release called:

  * **X2Go Saimaa (ESR)**

**X2Go Saimaa** is (arguably) the **5th bundle release** in the history of the X2Go project.

Our idea of a bundle release with extended security support is to provide reliability for companies/freelancers/consultants/universities who deploy X2Go in highly productive cloud environments and do not want to switch to the newer release versions or need to test and adapt to newer release versions more carefully.

**X2Go Saimaa** contains:
  * only core packages
    * nx-libs version 3.5.0
    * X2Go Server version 4.0.1.x
    * X2Go Client version 4.1.1.x
    * X2Go Broker version 0.0.3.x
    * Python X2Go, Pyhoca-CLI and PyHoca-GUI version 0.5.0.x

**X2Go Saimaa** will:

  * receive **no new features**
  * get minimal **security updates** whenever needed
  * receive **no fixes for bugs**
  * be supported  **until a yet unspecified time**

===== Available Packages =====

**X2Go Saimaa** components have been **packaged** by the X2Go upstream **for all supported platforms**:

Please follow the usual instructions provided on [[wiki:repositories:start|the repositories start page]] and use the ''saimaa'' codename.

Due to the nature of only providing core packages, installations that require any non-core add-on packages will need to additionally also use the ''main'' repositories or codename and give the ''saimaa'' repositories or codename a higher precedence than the ''main'' repositories or codename. This can be provided by pinning on Debian-based systems, ''yum'' or ''dnf'' repository priorities on RedHat-based systems or ''zypper'' priorities on SUSE-based systems.
