barrier (software KVM) is 2.3.3 in the repo, latest version is 2.4.0 with various bug fixes and security enhancements
https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
It is basically a git cloning, install maybe a few missing libs here and there if you not have a full dev environment, then issue a clean_build.sh command followed by cpack
Thanks :)

Re: [Request] barrier 2.4.0
That's definitely not how Debian package builds work for repository packages--they have to be reproducible by simple apt commands.Magister wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 3:18 pm barrier (software KVM) is 2.3.3 in the repo, latest version is 2.4.0 with various bug fixes and security enhancements

It's already in bullseye-backports, so should be quite easy for users to install on MX 21 with MX PI.

Re: [Request] barrier 2.4.0
I'll add it to the list, but....
Its going to be at the bottom on the list, as 2.4.0 is currently in Debian Backports and can already be installed using MX Package Installer > Debian Backports tab.
If you can install it from Backports and fully test it, and verify it works as expected without any issues, this would make porting it forward more worthwhile.

Re: [Request] barrier 2.4.0
@Magister if you don't mind and can do it, please test this out working with different OSes.
I have no problem building this newer version for MX-21 since it does have quite a few official CVE fixes so it makes sense to replace the one in Stable.

Re: [Request] barrier 2.4.0
I am using it with Windows 10 as a server and MX21 as client and it works nice. I will try to do the opposite.

Re: [Request] barrier 2.4.0
I wanted to test v2.4.0 because with v2.3.3 as a server in MX and windows as client, my mouse stuck to an edge, with 2.4.0 I have the same problem so I guess it's a windows problem and not the linux binary.
But using 2.4.0 as a client works perfect.

Re: [Request] barrier 2.4.0 [Solved]
@Magister thank you again for taking the time to test.
I'll package up the bpo version for our Test Repo to get further testing by folks, but again its going to be low priority since its already in backports, and right now I've got lots of other MX stuff to do plus a full time job.
