UPSTREAM SOURCES
----------------
The current upstream source for this package is NoMachine.
http://www.nomachine.com/sources.php


PACKAGE SOURCE TREE
-------------------
This package pulls in 7 source tarballs from NoMachine:

  nx-X11
  nxagent
  nxauth
  nxcomp
  nxcompshad
  nxcompext
  nxproxy

Intensive tests with X2Go/FreeNX on Debian squeeze+ systems showed an extreme
instability of nxagent when the named sources had been built separately against the
distribution's Xorg & co. libraries.

The recommended build method by NoMachine is placing the above projects into one
big source tree and build them in one go. When this build method is chosen,
the instability issues of nxagent (and x2goagent) disappear.

Unfortunately, so far we could not track down the exact problem of building the
above sources in separate packages.


PATCH SYSTEM
------------
This package uses quilt to manage all modifications to the upstream source.
Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in debian/patches and
applied during the build.

See /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source for a detailed explanation.
