Some Debian patches to TigerVNC that might also be useful upstream

[Joachim Falk]

Hi Pierre,

the Debian TigerVNC package carries some patches that might also be
useful to you.

0010-fix-xtigervnc-build.patch is need for building Xvnc out of source
0102-fix-option-dashes-in-manpages-to-shutup-lintian.patch
Some option '-' in man pages are rendered as Unicode dashes not ASCII
'-', fix this.
0151-make-cmake-enable-options-mandatory-if-turned-on.patch
If a feature is explicitly requested via the cmake command line,
error out if necessary libraries are missing and do not silently
disable the requested feature.
0225-add-missing-fields-to-vncviewer-metainfo.patch
Some field where missing in the appinfo metadata. I added you
as primary developer and also added the TigerVNC homepage.
I hope, that is OK with you.
0220-remove-systemd-service-obsolete-syslog-target.patch
Removed obsolete syslog.target from tigervncserver@.service.
The syslog.target is obsolete in Debian. I am relatively sure
that this is also the case for other distributions.

Best,

Joachim Falk

Thanks. Getting everyone synced up on the same code base is always nice.

Do you think you could submit them as pull request(s) via GitHub
instead? It's easier to discuss any details there.
