Description rhansen 2005-03-24 06:21:58 UTC 
Request to have net-misc/vnc (RealVNC) bumped to the latest version (4.1.1).  Also might as well use X.org's X11R6.8.2 instead of 6.8.1.

Release notes:  http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/release-notes.html

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Martin Gramatke 2005-04-25 14:06:53 UTC 
I would like to second this request.
Comment 2 David Leaver 2005-08-16 16:28:32 UTC 
I'll third this request, Having to download all the old X11R6 source just to
compile with the server flag is annoying.
Comment 3 RB 2005-10-25 13:22:17 UTC 
Still hoping - RealVNC 4.1.1 (FC4) seems to work so much better than TightVNC
1.3_alpha7 (Gentoo).  

Any idea when this update might take place?  4.1.1 has been current for a LONG time.

Re-assign, maintainer seems to be MIA.

Closing this UPSTREAM, feel free to bug upstream to release source code as required by GPL. Version in portage is not vulnerable.

The source code has been released.  An ebuild is availabe.  I've built it using xorg-6.9.0.  This doesn't seem to be an UPSTREAM problem anymore.

The ebuild has been bumped to the tree, so I close this on.  Ra
Comment 16 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-19 00:08:37 UTC 
The ebuild has been bumped to the tree, so I close this on.  Raúl, I found several bugs that can mainly be fixed by stabilising version 4.1.2, that is your task (you volunteered).
