Subject: New API call for nxcom (nx-libs) NXTransCleanupForReconnect

Date: Fri, 08 May 2015 00:40:24 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: nx-libs
Version: 3.5.0.28

Description:

The following patch includes support for a new API call 
NXTransCleanupForReconnect, which basically clears the state of nxcomp 
proxy side (modified nxproxy), so that a reconnection is possible.

Rationale:

Usually nxproxy clears the status of the connection by doing an exit and 
launching a new nxproxy. This strategy does not work for applications in 
IOS which do not allow forking.

Special care has been taking to not modify any of the other nxcomp code.

Regards,

Nito

This is a nice patch! Please also provide a PR on Github against 3.6.x  
branch on https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs for this patch.

I will then merge it and recommend it for backporting to 3.5.0.x.

This feature is actually a very cool thing for the Arctica redesign of  
remote desktop computing via NX.

Question: have you tested connection setup changes (speed, compression  
algo, etc.) in connection with NXTransCleanupForReconnect? As I  
understand your patch, it should well facilitate roaming between  
networks (switching from cable to Wifi to GSM and stuff like that),  
right?

This patch has been applied to 3.6.x branch of nx-libs a while ago...
https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/pull/25

Backporting to 3.5.x is optional, not especially recommended here. As  
we plan to release nx-libs 3.6.x in June 2016, I reckon that backport  
this patch is not release critical for TheQVD.

@Nito, if it is, please give feedback. Thanks.
