Hello.

More than half year in the past freerdp was updated and then reverted version to current present [1], mostly to allow built guacamole-server [2].

As I see it still stick with that version.
Meantime freerdp move forward. Remmina, which require fresh versions of freerdp also can't be updated.

Recently our bundling policy changed [3].

From freerdp depends:
$ dnf repoquery --source --alldeps --whatrequires freerdp-libs
...
freerdp-1.2.0-0.9.git.24a752a.fc23.src.rpm
guacamole-server-0.9.7-1.fc23.src.rpm
medusa-2.2-0.rc1.2.fc23.1.src.rpm
remmina-1.2.0-0.8.git.b3237e8.fc23.src.rpm
vinagre-3.18.1-1.fc23.src.rpm
vlc-2.2.2-0.1.fc23.src.rpm (rpmfusion.org)
weston-1.9.0-1.fc23.src.rpm

$ dnf repoquery --source --alldeps --whatrequires freerdp
...
krdc-15.04.2-2.fc23.src.rpm

Today I have try build freerdp [4] from master and all dependencies against it.

And again, *only* guacamole-server fails to build with:
In file included from rdp_stream.h:29:0,
                 from rdp_fs.c:27:
rdp_svc.h:28:38: fatal error: freerdp/utils/svc_plugin.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

It relied on old svc_plugin which has been rid in 2013 year [5].

Main question. Is it a good reason to bundle copy of current version freerdp into guacamole-server (at least until someone do not willing port it) and update it for rest of Fedora?

I have not tried to do such bundle yet, but if no one argue I could try do that with update freerdp and rebuild all other deps too.

​Given that the last time someone asked about getting guacamole to work on the latest FreeRDP, they said they won't do it[1], I'm inclined to suggest you should go ahead and try that.

Sorry, but I do not very interesting in guacamole and it seams is not very trivial task.

I have asked FreeRDP to put out a release before[2], and they've just marked it for "2.0" milestone, whenever that happens...

Another option would be to set up the current FreeRDP library as a "compat" package that can be parallel installed with the latest FreeRDP from upstream, which might be possible with some finagling.

That may be an option. Do you think it is a better way? It will require new review, but still need only for single package.
