Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
Gentoo has discontinued support for ssvnc. We recommend that users |
60 |
unmerge ssvnc: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --unmerge "net-misc/ssvnc" |
63 |
|
64 |
NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining ssvnc have discontinued |
65 |
support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer |
66 |
will update ssvnc at a later date. An alternative may be a manual SSH |
67 |
tunnel. |
