Hi,

I briefly took this over and looked at reviving this but upstream is
dead and show little sign of revival.

The new tsclient 2.0 GUI is terrible and these days there are far
superior alternatives in the form of gnome-rdp and remmina which I
happily use and provide a better end-user experience.

I believe that to leave tsclient in Fedora actually degrades the user
experience as people installing it will become rapidly disenchanted
with what it can offer in terms of a remote connection to Windows
boxes.

I'm therefore going to mark this dead.package unless anyone wants to
take it over but please think seriously about taking this on.

There are some patches floating about for v2.0 to try and improve it
but I really wouldn't recommend it.

Cheers

Could they add "alternative to tsclient" in their description or
something so that end users doing a yum search can find these ones? I
haven't even heard of either of these before and tsclient has been
popular for a very long time.

BTW: gnome-rdp is no more, remmina is it's successor.

Are you sure?

Gnome-rdp is mono, Remmina is GTK+ and both are active....

Sure, I'll ping the maintainers to see if this can be added...

Although I'm no fan of Mono, I am a user of gnome-rdp. I ditched
tsclient a long time ago in favor of gnome-rdp as it's much better and
much more stable.

Christoph, what on earth makes you think that gnome-rdp is obsolete and
has been replaced? Although they have a similar look, feel and function,
gnome-rdp and remmina are two completely different applications.

Regards

I confused gnome-rdp with grdp, the ancestor of remmina.

My bad,
Christoph

vinagre, the GNOME VNC client, in its 3.0 version, will have RDP support
builtin.
