== Distribution Packages ==

And why you should generally not use them.

||Ubuntu||[http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ Precise aka 12.04]||[http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/xpra 0.0.7.36]||Far too many to list - not a single bug fix applied in 2 years, derelict||
||Ubuntu||[http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10/ Saucy aka 13.10]||[http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/xpra 0.10.6]||7 stable updates missing, version no longer supported, known crashes||
||Debian||[https://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/ Squeeze Backports]||[https://packages.debian.org/squeeze-backports/xpra 0.3.11]||Too many to list and only available in backports! (backports a broken and out of date version!)||
||Debian||[https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/ Wheezy]||[https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/xpra 0.3.11]||Far too many to list||
||Debian||[https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/ Jessie]||[https://packages.debian.org/jessie/xpra 0.12.3]||Good: up to date||

||||[https://www.archlinux.org/ Arch] ||[https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xpra-winswitch/ 0.12.3]||Good: up to date||

Last updated 2014-04-23, when 0.12.3 was the latest version available.

Omitted:
* because (soon) out of date: Ubuntu Quantal, Ubuntu Raring.
* because not available with a default installation: Debian backports.
* Fedora: [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928609 package review stalled]
* opensuse: [http://software.opensuse.org/package/xpra no official packages]

The spec file can be found here: [https://www.xpra.org/trac/browser/trunk/scripts/xpra.spec xpra.spec]
[[BR]]
The quick and easy way (tested on Fedora 18):
{{{
mkdir -p ${HOME}/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ >& /dev/null
cd trunk/src
./setup.py sdist
cp dist/parti-all-*.tar.gz ${HOME}/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
cp patches/* ${HOME}/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
rpmbuild -ba ../scripts/xpra.spec --define 'Fedora 1'
ls -s ${HOME}/rpmbuild/RPMS/*/
}}}
Shows:
{{{
1744 xpra-0.8.0-0.fc18.x86_64.rpm
}}}

You may need to add arguments to the rpmbuild command line to enable/disable certain features, or simply to get it to build properly on other RPM based distros.
For example, to build on {{{CentOS 6}}} 64-bit with static video libraries and no opengl support, use:
{{{
rpmbuild -ba xpra.spec \
    --define 'CentOS 1'
    --define 'python_sitelib /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages'
    --define 'build_no 5'
    --define 'dist .el6'
    --define 'el6 1'
    --define 'static_video_libs 1'
    --define 'opengl 0'
}}}

You can find the debian packaging files here: [https://www.xpra.org/trac/browser/trunk/debian /debian]
[[BR]]
Debian also ships packages, though the "stable" and "testing" versions are completely out of date, broken and unsupported, they should '''not''' be used.
[[BR]]
Assuming that your build system is reasonably up to date, you should be able to build with:
{{{
cd trunk/src/
ln -sf ../debian .
debuild -us -uc -b
}}}

== [[Image(http://xpra.org/icons/gentoo.png)]] Gentoo Ebuilds ==

You can find a generally up-to-date ebuild here [https://www.xpra.org/trac/browser/trunk/scripts /scripts] (the ones in gentoo are somewhat behind the curve and fail to apply bug fixes in due time..).

The ebuilds for the released versions can be found here:
