Bug 46802 – New ebuild: directvnc-0.7.5

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Malte S. Stretz 2004-04-04 15:40:56 UTC]

There's a new version of DirectVNC around. It mainly fixes the build issues with autoconf 2.53 (see bug 43983) and makes all those fixes/patches obsolete. Maybe there was some other stuff fixed, too.

I also added the directfb flag to IUSE. As DirectVNC depends on DirectFB, the ebuild should probably bail out if the flag is disabled. But I don't know how to do this (right).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

It seems like there's a small bug in DirectVNC 0.7.5 -- it segfaults if the server closes the connection unexpectedly. I sent a mail to the author.

Update: Seems like I just became the new maintainer of DirectVNC ;-) I'll fix a few bugs and release a version which won't segfault in a few days.

Tossing back to the pool, since I'm assuming that we have a better framebuffer
guru than me.  Mr. Stretz, are you still working on directvnc?  

[Comment 5 Malte S. Stretz 2004-05-24 23:34:20 UTC]

Yes, I'm still working on it but the pace is slow as I don't have too much spare time so the "few days" got a few more. There will be an 0.8.0 one day but I don't know when its finished.

Please commit the 0.7.5 ebuild for now, with it DirectVNC at least builds. You might want to remove the directvnc USE flag though as I just recently learned that its not correct using it in such a way ;-)
