5 contents introduction using vnc viewer further information assistance index page Scaling the viewer window VNC Viewer 4 offers a new feature of scaling so that you can alter the overall size of the remote system screen image as it appears on your local viewer system.
- VNC® Viewer from RealVNC® gives you instant remote access to your Mac, Windows and Linux computers from anywhere in the world. You can view your computer's desktop, and control its mouse and keyboard as though you were sitting down in front of it.
- If downloaded directly, the VNC Viewer can be run either by double-clicking on the program icon, or from the command-line. The VNC Viewer will present the Connection Details dialog, allowing the IP address or name of the target VNC Server to be specified.
- VNC Viewer for Windows can be installed as an optional component of the WinVNC setup package. If the viewer has been installed in this way then it will be accessible via the Start Menu group created during the installation process (usually RealVNC/VNC Viewer 4).

aarch64 can be added as an architecture since RealVNC now has a build that is available in the raspbian-arm64 repos.http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/r/realvnc-vnc/realvnc-vnc-viewer_6.20.530.42683_arm64.deb
Edit: Due to versioning and upstream conflicts I made my own package.

@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?

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