yes, xpra has been in bad shape for a while, but nobody seemed to care enough to fix it
No quite! Anyone can check out my PR [1] that gets it working with 6.0. I stopped tracking upstream for my own personal builds of Xpra a few months ago (admittedly, I stopped pushing those updates to the MR long before that because of lack of apparent interest). If people actually care about it, I can refresh the MR to the latest release. Most of the time, the updates to get it working with the next version are quite simple. I will have to warn anyone looking at it though: I stopped used Xpra because I'm trying to move over to wayland, and the primary reason I used it was to "shadow" existing desktops to provide "remote desktop" service calls to less technical users needing help. Xpra doesn't (or at least did not) have a roadmap for that feature, so I'm looking at krfb to that end. Given how easy the packaging is to maintain now, I don't think that should stop anyone from giving it a go. Antonio [1] https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xpra/-/merge_requests/5
