Nightly Builds

Nightly builds are derived from the X2Go Git site and always reflect the state of HEAD in Git (branch: master).

Help us testing new X2Go component versions by installing nightly built X2Go packages on your test rigs. Use nightly-builds at your very own risk and give feedback if things break after installation of nightly built packages.

If unsure, ask on IRC or on the X2Go development mailing list before installing nightly built packages.

FYI: For those who wonder what the word heuler means when stumbling over some of the nightly-builds package archive URLs. A heuler is the German word for a baby seal that has been abandoned by its mother (or whose mother has been killed by seal hunters).

Nightly Builds for GNU/Linux

We provide nightly builds of X2Go client and X2Go server components for several GNU/Linux based distributions: Debian GNU/Linux, Raspbian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu GNU/Linux, Fedora GNU/Linux and Redhat Enterprise Linux (and derivates).

Nightly-Builds for Debian GNU/Linux

Follow the X2Go Packages for Debian GNU/Linux instructions, but comment the main lines and uncomment the heuler lines.

Nightly-Builds for Raspbian GNU/Linux

Follow the X2Go Packages for Raspbian GNU/Linux instructions, but comment the main lines and uncomment the heuler lines.

Nightly Builds for Ubuntu GNU/Linux

The nightly builds for Ubuntu can be retrieved from a PPA on Launchpad. Use the follwing command to add the ppa:x2go/ppa as a package source to your local system:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/ppa

Please make sure that you have activated Ubuntu packages from main and universe when installing/testing x2goserver.

Nightly Builds for Fedora GNU/Linux

Follow the X2Go Packages for Fedora GNU/Linux instructions, but disable the release repositories and enable the nightly repositories.

The source-tagged repositories do not need to be enabled, unless the source RPMs are needed for (re-)building packages.

Nightly Builds for RHEL

We provide nightly builds for RHEL-5, RHEL-6 and RHEL-7 (x86_64 architecture only for now). For RHEL-5 only the X2Go Server side is available, because both X2Go client implementations (X2Go Client and PyHoca) won't build on the very old library base of RHEL/EPEL-5.

Follow the X2Go Packages for Redhat Enterprise Linux and Derivatives, but disable the release repositories and enable the nightly repositories.

The source-tagged repositories do not need to be enabled, unless the source RPMs are needed for (re-)building packages.

These repositories also depend on (and replace the X2Go) packages from the Fedora EPEL project. See using EPEL.

Nightly Builds for (Open-)SUSE

We provide nightly builds for openSUSE (12.3, 13.1, 13.2 and Leap 42.1) / SUSE Linux Enterprise (11.2, 11.3, 12.0).

Follow the X2Go packages for SUSE-based systems instructions and especially keep an eye open for the nightly part.

Nightly Builds of X2Go Client for MS Windows

We now provide nightly builds of X2Go Client binaries for MS Windows. They can be downloaded from our download server (use the mingw32-4.8 folder.)

Preview Builds of PyHoca-GUI for MS Windows

Currently we provide irregular preview builds of PyHoca-GUI binaries for MS Windows. Refer to our download server for what previews are available.

If someone feels like volunteering and wants to help out with build automation of the MS Windows version of PyHoca, please contact the X2Go developer team.

Preview Builds for Mac OS X

Currently we provide irregular previews of X2Go Client binaries for Mac OS X. Refer to our download server for what previews are available.

If someone feels like volunteering and wants to help out with build automation of the Mac OS X version of X2Go Client, please contact the X2Go developer team.
