Bug 864809 – net-misc/turbovnc [-java] can't be installed along net-misc/tigervnc [-server]

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Zentoo 2022-08-10 15:34:48 UTC]

net-misc/turbovnc provides:
- vncserver
- if USE=java vncviewer

net-misc/tigervnc provides:
- if USE=server vncserver
- vncviewer

So it should be possible to use net-misc/turbovnc[-java] vncserver with net-misc/tigervnc[-server] vncviewer but net-misc/turbovnc ebuild refuses to emerge if net-misc/tigervnc is installed.

So turbovnc should refuse to install along tigervnc only if:
- using java USE flag
- tigervnc is installed with server USE flag

And tigervnc sould refuses to install along turbovnc if:
- using server USE flag
- turbovnc is installed with java USE flag

Thanks I confirm that it's possible now to use
- vncserver from turbovnc
- vncviewer from tigervnc

Note: description of "java" USE flag for net-misc/turbovnc actually is "Add support for Java".
It can be more explicit and tell that java USE flag bring vncviewer.
Someting like: "Add support for Java. Build vncviewer"

Building the tigervnc 1.12.0 viewer is optional in the source. That would be good for turbovnc coexistence, and would avoid pulling in fltk and it's dependencies on server-only systems since only the viewer needs fltk.

Please add a 'viewer' use flag to make building the viewer optional. Or you might rather make it a "client" flag to match the turbovnc ebuild, though that doesn't match the option name in the tigervnc source.

The following works for me. I waive all copyright or license claims to it. Use it as you will.

    net-misc/turbovnc: rename USE client-> viewer
    
    `viewer` makes more sense than `client`.  It also matches the USE flag
    in tigervnc.

    net-misc/tigervnc: add 1.12.90
    
    This is called "1.13.0 Beta" in their release page, so try to get ready
    for "1.13.0": https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/releases/tag/v1.12.90
    
    Also add viewer USE flag to complement turbovnc.  I tested and I can
    install and run both combinations of {tiger,turbo}vnc {server,viewer}
    
    Sync live (live is 1.13.80 now)
