Description Albert Zeyer 2006-08-08 11:13:51 UTC
I made 2 changes in the ebuild:

I added 'ppc' to the KEYWORDS list and I added TightVNC as an alternative to VNC to the RDEPEND list and I changed pkg_setup to accept TightVNC.

No problems with the installation and also no problems with the program itself, it works great.

Here is my changed ebuild:

...
LICENSE="GPL-2"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86 ppc"
IUSE=""

DEPEND=""
RDEPEND="|| (net-misc/vnc net-misc/tightvnc)"

DESTDIR="/usr/$(get_libdir)/${PN}"

pkg_setup() {
        if has_version net-misc/vnc; then
                if ! built_with_use net-misc/vnc server; then
                        eerror
                        eerror "You must have your VNC implementation (currently net-misc/vnc) built"
                        eerror "with the \"server\" USE flag to use ${PN}."
                        eerror
                        die "Please rebuild net-misc/vnc with USE=server"
                fi
        fi
}

On my amd64 box, I originally tested with tightvnc, and it wasn't happy, tightvnc's Xvnc implementation couldn't find the right font paths, so it wouldn't start.

I will give it another try when I have a chance.

But I can CC the ppc team as per keywording the package ~ppc.

Okay, marked ~ppc.  Thanks!

Hmmm, this was fixed.

Comment 4 Albert Zeyer 2008-05-05 11:33:58 UTC
Can this please be reviewed? I checked it right now again and Xrdp works with TightVNC.

Esp. now, I have to use TightVNC because net-misc/vnc does not support the Xorg-Server 1.4.

The package has been removed from portage.
