Bug 141166 – New ebuild for net-misc/vnc version 4.1.2 and using X.org 7.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2006-07-20 06:50:30 UTC]

Hello,

Here i attach the ebuild for net-misc/vnc for 4.1.2 version. This ebuild is using the modular X.org version 7.1.

We got one problem, there's not a direct link for the tarball of the software. To get it we have to use a browser from the homepage, or get the tarball from a 3rdparty mirror. I've already asked upstream to get a direct link, but there's no answer yet(since two weeks). Since the software is licensed under GPL-2, we can get it mirrored into the Gentoo mirrors.

For the ones who want to try this ebuild(you need to create an overlay), you can download the tarball from the homepage(www.realvnc.com), or from here: http://ltsp.mirrors.tds.net/pub/ltsp/tarballs/vnc-4_1_2-unixsrc.tar.gz and put it into /usr/portage/distfiles .

The patches needed can be obtained from ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/source/SRPMS/vnc-4.1.2-3.fc6.src.rpm.
For the ones who are not familiar with rpm's under Gentoo, use this:
-mkdir vnc && cd vnc
-wget ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/source/SRPMS/vnc-4.1.2-3.fc6.src.rpm
-rpm2targz vnc-4.1.2-3.fc6.src.rpm  (if you don't have this, emerge rmp2targz)
-tar zxvf vnc-4.1.2-3.fc6.src.tar.gz
-mkdir /usr/local/portage/net-misc/vnc/files/vnc-4.1.2
-cp *.patch /usr/local/portage/net-misc/vnc/files/vnc-4.1.2

We're done! Now, use: emerge -av vnc --digest, and it will emerge and install into your system.
