Description Ed Catmur 2004-01-01 15:53:13 UTC
I have successfully merged a bumped ebuild, and tested it using x11vnc (my reason 
to install libvncserver...)

Suggested changes to the ebuild:
1. 0.5-optional-configure.ac.patch no longer applies - needs fixing or reassessing
2. I believe aclocal should come before automake

One more thing - the developer of x11vnc has recently put up a new x11vnc.c that
can safely replace the version in ${S}/contrib:
http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/x11vnc.c
It provides cool stuff like -noshm for polling a remote or Xnest server, and 
-sid for improved single-window transient handling. It would be nice to use this
newer version. However, the author does not appear to offer versioned downloads,
and a patch would be perhaps a little big - 51K for a unified diff.
