Would it be possible to send the patch complete with the commit message,
as can be produced with 'git format-patch'? You can read 'info "(guix)
Submitting Patches". The git commit message should use the GNU
ChangeLog format, as mentioned there. You can look at the git history
to learn.

The patches should be registered in the gnu/local.mk file, in the
dist_patch_DATA section. Please mind the sorting in the file.

Since we are using a recent commit, shouldn't these (upstream?) patches
be unnecessary? Perhaps we can use an even newer commit that includes
them?

There already is a (gnu packages vnc) module; that'd be a better home.
We can group all VNC-related packages there.

When using an unreleased version, it's good to mention why (issues it
fixes, a very old release, etc.).

Odd blank line here. You can try './pre-inst-env guix style x11vnc' to
see how it would do it, else I'd do it like to avoid breaking the 80
chars max width:

(search-patches
"patch1"
"patch2"
...)

The libraries that are used at run time should appear as inputs, not
native-inputs. Native-inputs are for build tools or tests.

I'd remove the useless comparison with windows, perhaps stress that this
provides a VNC *server* in the description as well.

Hello, thank you for the review!

I've put the recipe into vnc.scm and built to a newer commit that
makes the patches redundant (thanks for the tip, I was basing my
recipe off one from another distro).

I've fixed the commit message and linted and styled the vnc.scm file.

I created a new branch and put my changes there, so please disregard
the above changes.

I attach here the patch file, as I don't quite trust myself to paste
the changes into this email.

Looking forward to the next review,

Best,
Mehmet

That's fine. It looks very good! I've made the following
cosmetic/nitpicking changes:

1. Do not bind a "version" variable in let; it's bound by the version
field of the package record at definition (see: define-record-type* from
(guix records)).

2. Used a plain list with a gexp for the phases, which is more
forward-looking.

3. Sorted the inputs.

4. Removed an extra newline at the end (we use only one newline between
definitions).

Before pushing, I've also double checked the license and found that it
should be gpl2+, as the COPYING file contains the "any later version"
text. x11vnc.h also has in the license notice:

x11vnc is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at
your option) any later version.

I made these changes and pushed to master!

Thanks again,

Maxim
