Unfortunately changeset 17145 was not included in the latest available xpra 2.2 beta which is from yesterday morning. Could you trigger a new xpra 2.2 beta build for centos including that changeset?

The Packages file for debian stretch amd64 is currently empty (see https://xpra.org/beta/stretch/main/binary-amd64/ ) and I can’t install from the repository anymore. Can you have a look?
It should be fine now.

I scheduled so many builds that the buildbot eventually ran out of disk

It was missing, only "xpra --help" had it, that's now fixed:
