-====== X2Go Packages for Redhat Enterprise Linux and derivatives ======
+====== Archived X2Go Packages for Redhat Enterprise Linux and Derivatives ======
-X2Go packages are provided by the Fedora EPEL project for RHEL and derivative distributions (e.g. CentOS and ScientificLinux).  See [[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#Using_EPEL|using EPEL]] for instructions on how to configure the EPEL repository.
+<note>This information is only intended for use with the X2Go repositories. If you use the official EPEL repositories, please refer to their documentation and infrastructure.</note>
-Now you can search for X2Go related package that are now available for your system via YUM:
+Alongside with the instructions on the [[wiki:repositories:epel|main EPEL repository page]], we provide a repository archive for archived X2Go EPEL packages for deprecated EPEL "releases". These are provided in the state they were in after their last successful build. This repository is not updated at all, other than when a new EPEL release version is deprecated.
+===== Adding the Archived X2Go Repository to your Package System =====
+Download the .repo file and save it to the correct location:
 <code bash>
-$ yum search x2go
+wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go-archives.repo \
+ https://archives.packages.x2go.org/epel/x2go.repo
 </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.
+For reference, the file will also be inlined here, with the original information being available on [[https://archives.packages.x2go.org/epel/x2go.repo]]:
-If you wish to install newer or test versions directly from the X2Go project, follow the instructions below in addition to configuring the EPEL repository.
+{{url>https://archives.packages.x2go.org/epel/x2go.repo 720px|Archived EPEL X2Go repository definition file}}
-<note important>Do not mix-and-match packages from the official EPEL repository with packages from the X2Go EPEL repository. Due to differing version number schemes, you will indefinitely run into problems. If you **really** need to switch between repositories, make sure to uninstall all X2Go packages first.</note>
+Edit this file with your preferred editor.
-===== Adding the X2Go Repository to your Package System =====
+<code bash>
+$ editor /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go-archives.repo
+</code>
-Add the file ''x2go.repo'' to the folder ''/etc/yum.repos.d/''.
+Refer to [[wiki:repositories:epel#adding_the_x2go_repository_to_your_package_system|the EPEL instructions]] regarding the naming scheme and what needs to be enabled.
-This can be done using by your preferred editor.
+==== Post-Addition Test ====
+Now you can search for archived X2Go related packages that are now available for your system via ''yum'' or ''dnf'', whatever is appropriate for your system:
 <code bash>
-$ editor /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo
+$ yum search x2go
 </code>
-A sample content for this file can be found here, with the original information on [[http://packages.x2go.org/epel/x2go.repo]]. Be sure to **edit** this example to match your needs, mostly the ''enabled'' key. ''source''-tagged repositories are only needed if you intend to build packages from source, while ''extras''-labeled repositories are always needed. By default, the ''release''-labeled binaries repository is enabled, while the ''nightly''-labeled binaries repository is disabled. If you want to try newer, unreleased software, disable the ''release''-labeled binaries repository and enable the ''nightly''-labeled binaries repository.
+or
+<code bash>
+$ dnf search x2go
+</code>

+Congratulations, you are now able to access the archived X2Go packages. You may continue by installing ''x2goserver-xsession'', ''x2goclient'' or ''pyhoca-gui'' or any other of the available packages.
