Description Stian Viskjer 2008-11-07 16:45:22 UTC

A bit of a mess, but it works.

"Gitso is a frontend to reverse VNC connections. It is meant to be a simple two-step process that connects one person to another's screen. First, the support person offers to give support. Second, the person who needs help connects and has their screen remotely visible. Because Gitso is cross-platform (Ubuntu, OS X and Windows) and uses a reverse VNC connection, it greatly simplifies the process of getting support."

I'm interested in this too is there anyone still active on this?

Comment 3 Ragas 2010-07-27 15:23:22 UTC

I've updated the ebuild to version 0.6.

But I've got one problem remaining. Gitso needs to be able to execute ip (or netstat on other POSIX systems).
So right now it is only possible to be run as root or you need to do:
"ln -s /sbin/ip /usr/bin/ip" to execute gitso as normal user.

I would like to fix this one but I actually have no idea in which way to solve this.

I'll add my new ebuild.
