License tag should be GPLv2+.

Upstream Source is 404.

There are 36 patches, with no notes as to upstream status.

Can't check BuildRequires, or run rpmlint on RPMS, see above.

rpmlint on spec:

vnc.spec: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 3, tab: line 128)
The specfile mixes use of spaces and tabs for indentation, which is a cosmetic
annoyance.  Use either spaces or tabs for indentation, not both.

Fix.

Other than the above, full review is good, no other blockers.

"Old" vnc is going to be replaced by tightvnc package in F11 which has already passed throught review process (bug #445537). vnc is is going to be dead in F11 so I think we don't have to waste time with vnc review. If you think vnc should be reviewed for F10 please reopen.

Comment 3 Patrice Dumas 2008-10-17 12:47:39 UTC
Please tell on fedora-devel that you are orphaning vnc, maybe there will
be takers (for F11). If so, I think that it would be better in any case to 
have a regular review done, so keeping this closed and not reviewed is the 
best solution in my opinion.

+1, but what, functionally, would be the difference between a regular review and a merge review?

Not much, except that in Merge reviews it is often very unclear who is
the reporter. Also another major difference is that the package is in
fedora during the review which removes an incentive for reviewers and 
submitters.

Well, this is not solution. tightvnc is forked vnc so both packages have same code, same binaries etc. So we have to have vnc or tightvnc but not both.

They can be made parallel installable and use alternatives, for example. 
Or simply have realvnc binaries prefixed. You are orphaning vnc, please
follow the procedures.
