Is that on purpose? Of course, everybody is busy nowadays, but is it such a big decision to add a current version of LibVNCServer to KR410 for 12.2 in order to get krdc going?
As Luca already indicated my motivation goes down when I read this, especially since that you do not seem to care about distro dependencies on this package. If you would have searched, then you know that the following packages are depending on LibVNCServer:
DirectFB kdenetwork4 (which is krdc) remmina virtualbox xen
If we now start providing an updated LibVNCServer, then I really wonder what will happen with the above packages in 12.2. They might still work, they might also not work. Or maybe your idea is to provide also these packages in KR410 ??
Of course it is easy to provide a fix for a single bug, but I believe that it is also our duty to keep an eye on other non-KDE packages that might get into troubles if we start providing updates that could cause issues in other areas.
The KDE team has always been very carefull with providing updates of system related packages in KDE repositories due to the described effect.
Okay, I stand corrected, and you're right. It's not possible to simply replace that module in 12.2. OTOH, krdc is crashing since 4.10. It might be related to a LibVNCServer update, as people have tested the *release* version positively. Coolo has added some patches, that probably just not work, if exercised (which are not with krdc < 4.10). What I can offer is a revert of krdc 4.10 to krdc 4.9.5, which is attached at the upstream bug report. That compiles and build fine with openSUSE 12.2, and even work as expected.
