While touching the file I suggest to bump to EAPI=7 Is there a reason for echo in python_compile() { echo } Else I suggest to six it with a NOP python_compile() { : }
I think the echo was a to noop out of the default, fixed. I'm not sure what the PTYTHON_COMPAT is good for, I guess just to ensure the deps are installed. I'm not sure I think including a generic script name like launch.sh is a good idea. novnc is generally called directly by other apps (like nova) (at least in my usage). gonna close as won't fix based on its targeted use
It can be used as a standalone VNC client as well.. In that case, installing it then looking for a novnc binary and reading the install docs from the official website and other websites to found out about the launch.sh file is a waste of time :)
