Source: tightvnc Section: x11 Priority: optional Maintainer: Ola Lundqvist Standards-Version: 3.8.4 Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 7.1), lynx, zlib1g-dev, libjpeg-dev, libxaw7-dev (>> 4.1.0), perl-modules, xfonts-base, xutils-dev, libx11-dev, libxau-dev, libxext-dev, libxi-dev, libxkbfile-dev, libxmu-dev, libxt-dev, x11proto-core-dev Homepage: http://www.tightvnc.com Package: tightvncserver Architecture: any Provides: xserver, vnc-server Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, ${perl:Depends}, x11-common | xserver-common, x11-utils, xauth Recommends: xfonts-base, x11-xserver-utils Suggests: tightvnc-java Description: virtual network computing server software VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing `desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. . This package provides a server to which X clients can connect and the server generates a display that can be viewed with a vncviewer. . The difference between the tightvncserver and the normal vncserver is the data encoding, optimized for low bandwidth connections. If the client do not support jpeg or zlib encoding it can use the default one. Later versions of vncserver (> 3.3.3r2) support a new automatic encoding that should be equally good as the tightvnc encoding. . Note: This server does not support or need a display. You need a vncviewer to see something. However, this viewer may also be on a computer running other operating systems in the local net. Package: xtightvncviewer Architecture: any Provides: vncviewer, vnc-viewer Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends} Recommends: xfonts-base Suggests: tightvncserver, ssh Description: virtual network computing client software for X VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing `desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures. . It is implemented in a client/server model. This package provides a client for X, with this you can connect to a vncserver somewhere in the network and display its content in a window. There are vncserver available for other operating systems. . The difference between the xtightvncviewer and the normal vncviewer is the data encoding, optimized for low bandwidth connections. If the client do not support jpeg or zlib encoding it can use the default one. Later versions of xvncviewer (> 3.3.3r2) support a new automatic encoding that should be equally good as the tightvnc encoding.
