Thank you for accepting the patch -- now we are closer to accomplishing

[snip from IRC log]
23:31  yoh: jcristau: looking into that tigervnc-using-xorg-sources tarballs, one next difficulty is that we should use confflags you set in the debian/rules ... and those could be port/arch specific... not sure what could be a clean solution here
23:33  yoh: besides shipping entire debian/ and thus pretty much the full source package
--- Day changed Wed Jan 08 2014
01:46  mlankhorst: yeah taking over xorg-server :/

I wonder what recommendations people might have?

Subject: provide xserver-xorg-source package for building 3rd party software
 (e.g. VNC) reusing XOrg codebase
X-Mailer: reportbug 6.4.4

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.7+3
Severity: wishlist


https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-tigervnc team works on packaging
TigerVNC for Debian (ITP - #650394).  Unfortunately (or for some might be
-- fortunately) our initial upload to Debian proper was rejected (in 18 Apr
2013) with the main concern being shipping convenience copies of Xorg to build
TigerVNC.  And suggestion was made to seek collaboration with Debian X Strike
Force so that Debian could provide a 'proper' xserver-xorg-source package
providing sources of the XOrg so TigerVNC could be built against them (which
should simplify/secure its maintenance in the long term).

Since better later than never, I have decided to file this wishlist to discuss
such a possibility.  do you see any particular concerns against?  would you
prefer a patch or work it our yourself?
