* Package name : freerdp2 Version : 2.x (Git snapshot) Upstream Author : Marc André Moreau <marcandre.mor...@gmail.com> * URL : http://www.freerdp.com * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: C Description : RDP client/server for Windows Terminal Services FreeRDP is a libre client/server implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). . The new major upstream version (well, upstream is not tagging versions, but we have one upstream dev on the packaging team who recommends Git snapshots) provides new ABI/API. This new source will supercede the currently available Debian source package "freerdp". . From now on, upstream will support parallel installations of multiple major upstream releases. So shipping both FreeRDP versions in Debian unstable for a while is possible. However, only freerdp2 will be made available in Debian 9. . Packages depending on FreeRDP shared libraries should start migrating their packages to the new ABI/API for FreeRDP 2.x. . A transition bug will be file for monitoring this change-over, once the freerdp2 src:package has landed in unstable.
