That's ok, Mike.  I've already E-Mailed Richard with my intentions to do the
contributed package, and will be crediting him in the README as well.
Thanks for the pointer to the web site, though...I was able to build the
package based on the existing rdesktop, however I can't get my iso build to
recognize it.  I'll do a bit of RTFM, and let you know the results.

Unfortunately I don't have access to the build environment anymore.  I
lost it during a distro change.  
As far as including a CVS version of the rdesktop in Thinstation, I have
played with it extensibly.  As far as I can tell, its pretty much bug
free.  It is even more stable than 1.3.1.

Probably the best place to start is by helping answer questions on the
discussion groups.

Testing of the beta versions (particularly different setups and options) is
critical to find any errors before the next full release.

You could also look at some particular aspect of Thinstation (eg. and add-on)
that you would like to contribute and start investigating how to incorporate that.

The drive redirection in rdesktop CVS is still a bit immature (and have =
been
buggy, e.g. causing crashes).
Applications that load files piece-by-piece like the Office suite or =
Acrobat
reader have problems with the redirected drives (some API calls not
implemented / buggy). File copy and opening in apps like Notepad, which
loads the entire file, generally works better.

This is an rdesktop-CVS issue and you will have better luck getting help =
on
the rdesktop mailing list.

I guess it depends on the target audience. I like the TS background, but 
if we are trying to cater for the M$ converts (hence icewm in the first 
place), I guess the 'teletubbies' background is OK. Although I'm sure 
there must be some other (read nicer) ones to use.

Maybe we should just stick to a more neutral theme and leave the TS image 
for the boot splash?

I vote for the TrueCurve theme as default. It's a clone of Red Hat's 
BlueCurve. Looks a lot as XFCE4's default theme too.

Hi all !

I don't want to be mean about "teletubbies". I mean my kids love those 4
little creatures. But this theme is so "used up" and might me confusing
to users that will be migrated from regular workstations to the TS in
the future. And I hope that from day to day there will be more TS users
then PC users. What a relief for the IT staff that would be.

Let the users know that they come to a different "TS" world as soon as
they see the background.

That's why I personally support a theme that is closer to linux than to
MS Windows. I think IceBlueCurve or BlueCurve is a good theme.

But also ... It's a free world... It should be changeable by anyone.

I'm going to try my hand at putting together a package for distribution
called "rdesktop_cvs".  I should hopefully have it available today or
tomorrow.  I've already got the package file built, and now just have to
figure out how to make it actually work.  If someone familiar with putting
together packages has some free time today to answer questions, I can E-Mail
them off-list with some specific things that are bugging me.  Miles?  Mike?
Anyone else?

And Miles...it is just a new binary that is needed.  Richard Dolinsky may
still have the source for the specific CVS he built and I'm hosting.

well if all thats required is just including a new binary, I don't mind

that then I don't think I have time.

Frank has sent me the latest rdesktop cvs, however I was thinking that
perhaps its better to go with Matthew's one as that could be considered
stable, thoughts?

I was planning to do as Matthew thought actually, which is what we done
sometime in the 1.0 release, include a rdesktop package and a rdesktop_cvs
package.

do you think the package should go in contribs rather than in the core
distro?

I really wouldn't like cvs quality code in a TS release. However, I

I really think this case is a perfect example what the contributed 
packages should be like. The rdesktop-cvs is useful for some TS users, 
but it is a cvs-version and doesn't really belong in the official 
TS release - beta or not.

Solution: Add it as a contribution! We really want more of these 
contribution.

Richard, if you read this, could you please wrap-up your rdesktop-cvs as 
described here: 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/thinstation/README.adding_packages?download 
(except please name the package <name>-<version>_TS-<version>.tar.gz. 
Miles: we need to update this doc!)

I have no problem with Matthew hosting it, but it will reach a wider 
audience this way (not only people reading the list carefully).

Oh! I already answered Miles on this before I came this far down in 
"unread" messages. Sorry!

I don't know if you or Richard is going to do this... You better consult 
each other.

Anyway, just rename packages/rdesktop to packages/rdesktop_cvs and tar and 
gzip it with Thinstation-2.0 a base directory. Add license info etc. as 
described here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/thinstation/README.adding_packages?download

Feel free to email me directly on this.

Unfortunately I don't have access to the build environment anymore.  I
lost it during a distro change.  
As far as including a CVS version of the rdesktop in Thinstation, I have
played with it extensibly.  As far as I can tell, its pretty much bug
free.  It is even more stable than 1.3.1.

I was under the impression bootsplash didn't work in the last beta, so I
didn't even try it in this one.  Judging from your email I am mistaken.
