freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch.rpm is in testing

We have created a new version of freenx
(freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch.rpm)
and moved it to the testing repo.

This is based on the code displayed at the LWE in San
Francisco ...

(though it is not officially released as stable by the
freenx people)

This version should handle printing and reconnecting to
running sessions
much better.

Running sessions (on the nx server, that is the machine you
are
connecting to) are stored in
"/var/lib/nxserver/db/running" ... if you
have been disconnected in the past, there may be several old
sessions
out there that need to be cleaned up ... go remove the
sessions that are
invalid (all of them in that directory if you do not have
any open
sessions to that server).  There is no real auto cleanup of
these if
your session breaks ... I will try to develop something that
works
later. In the meantime, if you session list is to big and
some are dead,
you will have to delete them manually.

This version also allows rootless mode, which is faster
compression.

So far, this is a major improvement to my user experience
for NX.

------------------
Copy the testing CentOS-Testing.repo file from here:

http://dev.centos.org
/centos/4/

to /etc/yum.repos.d/ , then use this command to install
freenx:

yum --enablerepo=c4-testing install freenx nx

Report issues with this to the freeenx tracker here:

http://bugs.c
entos.org/view.php?id=1307

-------------------
A guide for setting up the NoMachine client (to connect to
the freenx
server, if you installed it) is here:

http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/

(you only need to do the client items, as the server is
taken care of
with the above yum install).

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
