<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to kde at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 225559: net/krdc: "xfreerdp" parameter "/network:[...]" not supported
anymore in FreeRDP 2.0.0r1?
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225559



--- Description ---
After upgrading all packages, it seems that "krdc" is no longer able to spawn
RDP sessions. Activating all debug flags using "kdebugdialog" reveals that
"krdc" executes "xfreerdp" with following options:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-decorations /w:1255 /h:879 /kbd:0x00000407 /u:SECRETUSER
/parent-window:4194338 /bpp:16 /audio-mode:2 /drive:media,/media /network:lan
/cert-ignore +clipboard /port:3389 /v:SECRETSERVER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Executing "xfreerdp" manually with above mentioned options line does not spawn
a RDP session as well and show "xfreerdp" usage output instead. Removing an
option one by one reveals that "xfreerdp" does not like the "/network"
parameter anymore - at least with that options combination.

Patching "krdc" to exclude that:
