Description Jacob Gemmell 2004-06-29 09:59:14 UTC
I'm requesting a version bump for the net-misc/vnc which uses Realvnc 3.3.7.  I would like a version bump to Realvnc 4.0 which was released mid-June.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

I heartily second this request.
Comment 2 rhansen 2004-08-18 05:53:18 UTC
I too would like to see RealVNC 4.0.
Comment 3 Richard C 2004-08-18 11:33:15 UTC
Here is an ebuild for a Binary version of RealVNC 4.0 derived from the 3.3.7 source ebuild.

I had the source one working except for the xfree vnc.so module.  Since they no longer include x sources in their source packages, it just started getting too complex for the time I had available.

Anyway, this filled my needs, and since xf4vnc is binary only as well, it couldn't be worse then that.

Ebuilds for RealVNC 4.0 Binaries

Sorry - Posted the attachment to the wrong bug, then thought my comment didn't
get posted, so I double posted it..  Nice simple bug and ebuild post buggered
up.

In CVS, please test.

Updated ebuild - vnc.so wasn't being copied over

Missed an entry in the dodir portion of the install section that prevented the
vnc.so from being installed.

New ebuild -r1 version.

The 4.0 ebuilds should be marked as stable. 

I have been using 4.0 server every weekday for nearly six months and have never had any problems with it. This is mostly with the windows viewer but I have also used the gentoo 4.0 viewer as well. Also without problems.
