mcookie

mcookie is a command of util-linux.  FreeBSD doesn't have it.
Quick workaround is put the attached shell script named mcookie into your PATH.

I'll report this to upstream. Please be patient.

patch

I've submitted a patch to vncserver script.

tigervnc port requires mcookie command but mcookie is a part of util-linux.
Now vncserver script generates magic cookie without mcookie command.

The patch contains the same changes to both tigervnc and tigervnc-devel.
And one trivial change only to tigervnc (pkg-plist).



net/tigervnc, net/tigervnc-devel:
- generate magic cookie without cookie command

net/tigervnc:
- fix pkg-plist (Vietnamiese translation)
Comment 3 Koichiro Iwao freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-04 05:10:24 UTC 
And strip binaries for both port.
Comment 4 Koichiro Iwao freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-04 05:15:21 UTC 
(In reply to Koichiro IWAO from comment #2)

Fix typo in summary. I think this should be applied to quarterly.

net/tigervnc, net/tigervnc-devel:
- generate magic cookie without mcookie command
- strip binaries

net/tigervnc:
- fix pkg-plist (Vietnamiese translation)

Log:
  net/tigervnc(-devel): runtime and stage-QA fix

  Previous attempts to run tigervnc resulted in the server quitting:
    vncserver: couldn't find "mcookie" on your PATH

  With the attached patch, the vncserver now generates the "magic cookie".
  While here, add the missing vietnamese translation to fix stage-QA checks.
  The -devel version got the same fix and was revbumped even though it is
  still ignored since it's no newer than the stable version.

Comment 6 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-05 15:40:05 UTC 
Done.
