Bug Description

Gitso is a frontend to reverse VNC connections. It is meant to be a simple two-step process that connects one person to another's screen. First, the support person offers to give support. Second, the person who needs help connects and has their screen remotely visible. Because Gitso is cross-platform (Ubuntu, OS X and Windows) and uses a reverse VNC connection, it greatly simplifies the process of getting support.

I use gitso to do remote support. It would be great to see it packaged in Ubuntu repositories (a .deb already available on the google website)

The package will take some time until it appears on getdeb.net.

Any progress on getting this included in Ubuntu proper?

The project themselves would like it and have put it as a v0.8 milestone[1], but given that it's GPL I don't see any blockers for earlier inclusion?

It seems that there are lots of lintian warning in this package.

Need help?

I have put it to
  https://launchpad.net/~cnav/+archive/ppa/

But it still can not work, as there is not a package in ubuntu called vncviewer.

I make it depend on vnc4server.

Maybe we should first port it to an existed vnc program.

I think there is a program called x11vnc that makes the same as Gitso, but in console. Try to write:

$ x11vnc -connect 192.168.1.200:5500

to reverse vnc, where 192.168.1.200 is the IP from the listening client (executed as "$ vncviewer -listen" and opened 5500 port).

I revived the gitso project and fixed the Ubuntu packaging. By now, you can check out the new .deb from here:

http://code.google.com/p/gitso/downloads/detail?name=gitso_0.6.2_all.deb

Please report any issues to the upstream project

Cheers,
Markus

It also builds OK for Precise: https://code.launchpad.net/~pataquets/+recipe/gitso-trusty
Backport candidate for Precise?
I'm having problems when running "backportpackage". My local building env is broken :(
