Hey Mike,

fyi, regarding your ITP for tigervnc. I don't think that Antoine has
done anything in this regard. But you might ask or use my package as
basis for yours. I have already applied some fixes from redhat ontop
of the original tigervnc sources. The stuff is all versioned via git
so you can tell what changes I have applied.

Regards,
Joachim

Hi,

Thanks for this, I was meant to do this ages ago and really dropped
the ball on this one.
I'll take a look asap.

Cheers
Antoine

Dear Antoine, you provide some binary debs

"http://winswitch.org/dists/squeeze/main/"

for debian-squeeze for TigerVNC 1.0.90. However, I seem to be
incapable of finding the corresponding src debs for the
binaries. Could you point me in the correct direction? I want
to tinker a bit with the built options for Xvnc4.






I am afraid that those builds are hacked using bash scripts and
are probably wrong. See the recent discussion about how Xvnc
should be build against the host headers rather than using the
build-xorg script which is in the source. I keep meaning to do
things right, but I just don't have the time at present...


Hi Antoine,

it took me some time, but I finally got around to make some debs of
my own. They should build tigervnc properly. Maybe you can use them
as basis for some semi official version.

I see you do not rely on libjpeg-turbo. I actually am waiting for
libjpeg-turbo ( is packaging them) to enter Debian sid.

Maybe I should build the package without. Hmmm...


Well. I packaged the stuff for squeeze. My version is not able
to do real time transmission on a 1900x1200 display. I don't know
if libjpeg-turbo will be able to. However, at least with the version
I have built it is again possible to execute a kde session under Xvnc.

P.S.: I update the version on xiao with the latest packages I built myself.

tigervnc (1.1.0-2jf) stable; urgency=low

* Added RH patch tigervnc11-ldnow.patch disabling lazy symbol
resolution for libvnc.so

* Added RH patch tigervnc11-rh690245.patch which add TLS encryption to
VeNCrypt

TigerVNC (Xvnc, x0vncserver, the libvnc.so module, and vncviewer) now
supports TLS encryption (using VeNCrypt) which allows TLS encrypted
communication between a server and a viewer. (BZ#653491)

* Added RH patch tigervnc11-rh588342.patch which fixes EQ overflowing bug.

Xvnc could become unresponsive and the following error message was
shown
in the log: "[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an
infinite loop.". This was caused by a large number of user input
events
in the Xvnc event queue, which were being processed too slowly. With
this update, this issue no longer occurs and the system works as
expected. (BZ#588342)

* Add RH patch tigervnc11-rh628054-xorg.patch which fixes vmware
keyboard interaction bug.

Prior to this update, Xvnc (the X VNC server; part of the tigervnc
package) did not pass keyboard input to a remote VMware workstation
because it did not take into account types of keyboards which do not
have modifier keys. With this update, Xvnc recognizes all types of
keyboards; thus, keyboard input is correctly passed to remote VMware
workstations. (BZ#628054)

* Add RH patch tigervnc11-rh645755.patch fix signal interrupted read

The Xvnc server randomly refused connections when the reading of the
password file (provided when starting Xvnc with the "-PasswordFile"
option) was interrupted by a signal. With this update, the loading
of a
password file continues after an interrupt signal is issued and
connections are no longer refused. (BZ#645755)

* Apply RH patch tigervnc-viewer-reparent.patch which adds vncviewer
embedding support via -Parent option.

* Apply RH patch tigervnc-102434.patch which adds -passwdInput option
to vncviewer.



Thanks+Greets,
Mike

You can always tell a really good idea by the enemies it makes.
