Hi all,

I would like to move Vinagre / Weston in Fedora 25 to use the new FreeRDP 1.2 compatibility package that I created. This would allow me to update FreeRDP and Remmina to the same snapshot that is in Fedora 26/rawhide. Both of these things have been done already in Fedora 26/rawhide.

FreeRDP had no releases for more than 2 years and there is absolutely no guarantee of any stability towards API/ABI. So the best that it can happen is that in a given moment in time all components relying on FreeRDP work fine. Just by saying that it makes me shiver.

I've been trying to push on a new release along with a lot of other people to no avail so far.

The end result will be the same:

Guacamole / Vinagre / Weston: latest 1.2 release (compat-freerdp12)
Remmina: latest snapshot (freerdp) - usually the same date as the FreeRDP snapshot.

This would also allow me to close a lot of bugs related to Remmina & Vinagre in Fedora 25. Example:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1404771

If you have any opinions, please express yourself. I'm the maintainer for Guacamole, Remmina and FreeRDP, so most of the stuff is already done (compat-freerdp12 is in Fedora 25 updates-testing at the moment).

Regards,
--Simone
