====== X2Go Packages for Debian GNU/Linux ======

To get started you'll need to configure your local system to access the official X2Go Debian repository. Please keep in mind that this installation manual will guide you through the installation on a Debian wheezy (jessie, sid) system. The repository will basically offer you packages for i386 and amd64 architectures.

__Exceptions:__

  * **Debian lenny:** If you really use X2Go under Debian lenny and require us to provide recent X2Go versions for lenny, then you have to contract us to do that. The lenny packages will be removed from our archives at the end of 2013.
  * **Debian squeeze: **X2Go packages will be offered for Debian squeeze at least until squeeze is still officially supported as ''oldstable'' by the Debian project.
  * **ARM architecture:** for Debian squeeze and wheezy on ARM-based (Debian/armel) devices we provide (currently outdated) client-side packages (x2goclient, pyhoca-gui, pyhoca-cli plus dependencies). No nightly-builds, no server packages, though.

===== Adding this Repository to your Package System =====

Before starting to edit your system configuration, you'll need to add the needed GPG keys of the repository. Please switch to a user which has administrator privileges on your system in your preferred command line client:

<code bash>
su -
</code>
or
<code bash>
sudo -s
</code>


The following commands will ensure that your system will be able to work with the repository archive key. We have also provided our archive key and the X2Go maintainers' keys in a keyring package called ''x2go-keyring'' (see below). If you choose to install that package you can skip these first steps...

<code bash>
$ apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keys.gnupg.net E1F958385BFE2B6E
</code>


Please add the file ''x2go.list'' to the folder ''/etc/apt/sources.list.d/''.
This can be done by using your preferred editor.

<code bash>
$ editor /etc/apt/sources.list.d/x2go.list
</code>

Then add the X2Go repository (binaries and sources) as a couple of new lines (example for Debian **jessie**):

<file - x2go.list>
# X2Go Repository (release builds)
deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian jessie main
# X2Go Repository (sources of release builds)
deb-src http://packages.x2go.org/debian jessie main

# X2Go Repository (nightly builds)
#deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian jessie heuler
# X2Go Repository (sources of nightly builds)
#deb-src http://packages.x2go.org/debian jessie heuler
</file>


**Note:** If you have not got a folder ''/etc/apt/sources.list.d/'' add the lines to ''/etc/apt/sources.list''.


Please perform an update of your APT package database:

<code bash>
$ apt-get update
</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:

<code bash>
$ apt-get install x2go-keyring && apt-get update
</code>

Now you can search for X2Go related package that are now available for your APT system:

<code bash>
$ apt-cache 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.
