Feel free to fixup anything you want in that pkgsrc-wip tigervnc113
package, my Sparc boxes are currently off, so I'm not likely to do
much with it :)

That is another aspect of limited resources. Ideally pkgsrc would have
LTS branches, which would allow you to track an "older" branch with
just security updates, but it is enough work to just maintain
pkgsrc-current plus the last quarterly branch...

Its possible that you could track one of the MNX pkgsrc LTS branches
