Select one approach listed here, thus either the official (downstream) Fedora packages repository, or our X2Go Fedora repository and stick to it. Unreleased versions and unofficial (related to the Fedora project) release packages are only available directly from the X2Go project, follow the instructions in the second section to configure your package manager for this.
Download the .repo file and save it to the correct location:
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo \ http://packages.x2go.org/fedora/x2go.repo
For reference, the file will also be inlined here, with the original information being available on http://packages.x2go.org/fedora/x2go.repo:
Edit this file with your preferred editor.
$ editor /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo
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.
Now you can search for X2Go related package that are now available for your system via yum
or dnf
, whatever is appropriate for your system:
$ dnf search x2go
or
$ dnf search x2go
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.
The packages in this repository can be mirrored via rsync
:
rsync -avP packages.x2go.org::fedora </dest/path/of/local/mirror/fedora>
To get started you'll need to configure your local system to access the X2Go Fedora Copr repository. Please keep in mind that this installation manual will guide you through the installation on a Fedora 23 or 24 system. The repository will basically offer you packages for the ppc64le architecture.
Use the copr utility to add the repo:
dnf copr enable mikedep333/x2go
Now you can search for X2Go related package that are now available for your system via DNF:
$ dnf search x2go
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.
