Description Fabio Rossi 2017-02-15 10:01:51 UTC

vncpasswd is used both by vncviewer and vncserver so it should be always unconditionally installed, currently it's only available with the USE server.

Comment 1 Fabio Rossi 2017-02-15 10:03:18 UTC

vncviewer doesn't use it directly but the user might use -PasswordFile to specify a file generated by using vncpasswd

Comment 3 Fabio Rossi 2017-10-26 08:06:35 UTC

Reopening, from what I have seen in the git repo, only version 1.7.1-r2 has been fixed, the other two ebuilds are not fixed yet

Comment 4 otakuto.gentoo 2018-08-06 01:56:18 UTC

<1.8.0 ebuilds removed from repository.
