Sounds good. In the interim, does anyone mind if I start posting
pre-releases via DRC's upload script that's in trunk? I was thinking that
I would provide RPMS/SRPMS for el5 & el6, as well as a tarball with the el5
build contents. Personally, I'd also like to see a copy of each of the
viewers (linux/windows/java/mac?) made available standalone as well. It
can be very convenient when you just need a viewer but can't or don't want
to install the whole package.
I built the win32 package using the latest sources, but only the x86
version b/c I don't have a copy of the 64 bit version of Windows XP. I can
update the build script if someone else wants to run that one. I'm not
sure how useful it is though - WinVNC is pretty broken, bug 3513768 makes
it nearly unusable. I tried to poke around some, but I don't know how to
analyze the mdmp files to debug the problem. I haven't done the OS-X build
yet but plan to.
