@jose1711 binary name is an upstream choice, then this seems like a good idea you can submit to tightvncviewer and/or realvnc. If they are ok with it it's fine, if it's too complicated or causes issues from their point of view it would be good to know. Also if you have examples of official packages changing binary names, I will follow the best practices from TUs.

hi, thanks for packaging. could you please consider removing conflicts array b/c the only reason i want to keep realvnc is raspberry pi, but otherwise i am quite happy with tightvncviewer.

the idea is to rename binary in order to avoid conflict:

thank you, j

can you add for armv7h : arch=('x86_64' 'i686' 'armv7h') source_armv7h=("https://www.realvnc.com/download/file/viewer.files/VNC-Viewer-${pkgver}-Linux-ARM.deb") sha1sums_armv7h=('95bc648180924cb7b2105378a3ce7b2c41030e29')

tested and working (there is a standalone version too but better this one for icon and launch)

The binary is not compiled from the source code but extracted from the .deb package provided for Linux installing (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS).

Thanks for packaging this! After looking at RealVNC's website and this repo's PKGBUILD, I'm still not sure this VNC viewer is open source.

RealVNC hosts GPL-licensed source code for its Unix server and client here (they call it "VNC Open Source Code"): https://archive.realvnc.com/download/open/

Is the .deb package offered in this AUR repository compiled from that source code?

@totalsecond: thanks, updated

@ava1ar: I am happy to push the pkgbuild update if you allow me for co maintenance.
