Package: xvnc4viewer
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-37.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
it is not possible to launch xvnc4viewer with an URI like vnc://example.com:1.
Thus making it impossible to launch xvnc4viewer via an URI from the browser
(e.g. iceweasel). Please support URIs starting with vnc:// as server name. A
patch for that is attached. Do you mind me doing a NMU for that?
PS: The packaging is in a quite outdated state. I offer my (one-time) help to
update the packaging to use the latest technology (debhelper 9 with dh, 3.0
(quilt) source format). Are you interested?
