#70152: vnc @4.1.3 misleading description
------------------------+--------------------
Reporter: ianroberts | Owner: (none)
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: vnc
------------------------+--------------------
The Portfile for the vnc port describes itself thus:
> Creates a virtual X11 windowing environment that can be viewed not only
on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
from a wide variety of machine architectures.
This is not true - the package provides only the VNC ''viewer'', not the
Xvnc server suggested by the phrase "virtual X11 windowing environment".
A better description would be something like
> X11-based client for connecting to remote desktops using the VNC
protocol.
