* Package name : ogon Version : 0.0.0 Upstream Author : Thincast Technologies GmbH * URL : https://github.com/ogon-project/ogon * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: C Description : ogon session manager and RDP server The ogon project is an open source driven collection of services and tools mainly written in C/C++ that provide graphical remote access to Linux desktop sessions using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). It supports most modern RDP protocol extensions, bitmap compression codecs, dis- and reconnection to sessions and device redirections. ogon is compatible with virtually any existing RDP Client. . Any X11 destkop, weston or qt application can be used as session. Due to it's modular design it's easily possible to extend or add features or add new backends. . The ogon package is part of the ogon project and contains the code of the RDP server and session manager as well as protocol descriptions and some command line (helper) utilities. . The ogon project will be package under the umbrella of the Debian Remote Team.
Hi, I just wanted to let you know about ab packaged version of ogon (https://github.com/ogon-project (https://github.com/ogon-project), a linux Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server implementation). https://launchpad.net/~linux-ng/+archive/ubuntu/ogon (https://launchpad.net/~linux-ng/+archive/ubuntu/ogon) Maybe this can make it into Debian and helps to get ogon usable for a wider public. Bye, Marcel
Hi Marcel, very cool. I will take a look when time allows it. Mike
Hi Marcel, I plan to work on Ogon as my next (unpaid) packaging project in Debian. It is awesome that you have already wrapped-up the Ogon components as DEBs. This will ease our day. Main question is, if you'd be interested in co-maintaining Ogon in Debian (and consequently in all derivatives of Debian, thus in Ubuntu). I guess, that Bernhard Miklautz (one of the upstream authors) will also be around for tricky issues and as our contact point on the upstream side. The packaging should ideally happen in the Debian Remote Maintainers' namespace on salsa.debian.org [1]. Have you used Git for doing the DEB packaging of Ogon for your PPA? If so, could you provide access to those repos, so I can pull them over to salsa.debian.org (GitLab)? Furthermore, if you'd be interested in co-maintaining there are several possible cooperation modes possible. I could be your reviewer (and tutor) regarding Debian policy conformant packaging of software (if you'd be interested in becoming a Debian Developer). We could also cooperate in a cross-distro approach: I am responsible for Ogon in Debian, you take care for it in one of its derivatives (e.g. Ubuntu) with proper upload permissions there (a model, Martin Wimpress and have been using for the MATE desktop packaging). Let me know what you think! Mike [1] https://salsa.debian.org/debian-remote-team
Hello, Bug #906072 in ogon reported by you has been fixed in the Git repository and is awaiting an upload.

Hi Mike and everyone else involved with this packaging project!
First of all, thank you for working on this, ogon looks like a rather
complicated thing to package.
I would like to ask what the status of this project currently is. Do
you think that there is any chance this could still make it into
bullseye? Is there anything you would need help with?
Cheers,
Matthias
Hi Matthias, Bullseye won't happen for ogon. There are some blocking issues where upstream patches to third party projects are required that we don't have yet in Debian. I will look into doing the first uploads (hope that Marcel, who did quite a bit of the heavy listing recently, is back then...) after the bullseye release (or also during the freezes, possibly). Once we have all the components in experimental and everything works nicely, we can throw the packages on to the bullseye-backports archive area and make Ogon available for Debian 11 users. However, until beginning of February, I will be fully occupied with the packages I already have in testing (some of them still need some love). And... Thanks for your interest!!! Mike
