CentOS devs (perhaps Tru?),

I have an updated version of nx/freenx ready. The srpms are:

http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx-freenx/5/SRPMS/freenx-0.7.3-6.el5.centos.ay.src.rpm
http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx-freenx/5/SRPMS/nx-3.4.0-6.el5.centos.ay.src.rpm

Two tarballs (nxagent and nx-X11) in nx have been update to the
current version (as of Sept 2010).

One main change done in this update is addition of support for
RHEL6(beta). For example,

rpmbuild -bb --target x86_64 --define 'dist .el6.centos' --define
"centos_ver 6" freenx.spec

will build the x86_64 version of freenx for RHEL/CentOS-6.

Anyone wishing to give them a try can find the binaries at:

http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx-freenx/6/i386/
http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx-freenx/6/x86_64/

I have tested them against RHEL 6 beta2 and they seem to work fine.

Thanks,

Akemi
