Ubuntu "apt-get install xpra" - install old version of XPRA ( v0.3.11 ) ( latest: v0.9.7 )

[ImreSamu]

test case:

docker run -i -t  base /bin/bash
root@4635a6e9b491:/#  apt-get update
root@4635a6e9b491:/#  apt-get install xpra
root@4635a6e9b491:/#  xpra --version
xpra v0.3.11

working solution:

docker run -i -t  base /bin/bash
# xpra - Quantal Quetzal (12.10) install
# based on: http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=quantal
root@81af5559b410:/# apt-get update
root@81af5559b410:/# apt-get install -y curl 
root@81af5559b410:/# curl http://winswitch.org/gpg.asc | apt-key add -
root@81af5559b410:/# echo "deb http://winswitch.org/ quantal main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winswitch.list;
root@81af5559b410:/# apt-get update
root@81af5559b410:/# apt-get install xpra
root@81af5559b410:/# xpra --version
Warning: running as root
xpra v0.9.7

other linux version installer -> http://winswitch.org/downloads/ just change from "apt-get install winswitch" to "apt-get install xpra"

probably need to modify

• Dockerfile ( add correct PPA to install latest xpra version )
• README.md ( Notes / Linux requirements part )

Hi @ImreSamu,

Good catch! :+1: I was aware about this difference. But unless you want to use the sharing capability, the version 0.3.11 should work well. However, the sharing feature is still under development.

Anyway, I will add your working solution to the Dockerfile in order to have the latest version installed! :)

Hi @ImreSamu,

xpra is still in heavy development and the version 0.9.7 is not the official and stable version. I tried this version, but I had some issues. So I decided to keep the version 0.3.11 in order to avoid future issues. For instance, I'm able to connect from my Linux VM, but is works well from my Mac.

I will update it as soon as it becomes stable!

Thanks for your support @ImreSamu!
