Bugzilla Bug 147436

Hi,
Right now vnc with the server use flag depends on xorg-server and installs the
xorg vnc modules.
I use vnc's vncserver binary as an xserver/vnc server and so I don't need
those.
I think a use flag should be added to not install those.

The dependency needs to stay there as it plain won't run w/ any lower
xorg-server server (search bugzilla for related bug).

I am running the vncserver binary which is a xserver that outputs to vnc only.
Because of that I don't need xorg-server installed.
It seems there could be a use flag like "no-xserver-support" that doesn't
install vnc.so and doesn't depend on xorg-server.
Right now I have to edit the vnc ebuild to remove the dependency on xorg-server
sence I don't need it.

that would require logic for USE=client and until there is an easy way to
specify defaults, i'm not going to add that

Ok.
In the meantime I'll just remove the dependency from the ebuild and add the
ebuild to an exclude list so emerge --sync doesn't overwrite it.

Now there's EAPI=1

Just want to let you know that I planned to submit a feature enhancement for
the same issue. 

I had to use a development version of Xorg (1.4) due to the i810 driver but I
could not get the vnc from Gentoo. I had to use the version from the realvnc
website.

Best regards,
Octavian
