At the xserver project, currently, the xorg-server branch is at 21.1.11 version while the xwayland one is at 23.2.4 version.
It looks like the xorg-server won't be updated as much as xwayland.

Maybe it could help to add a xwayland.patch and use a meson.build file to allow building Xvnc with the newer xwayland sources.

I don't think that would be a good idea. I would suspect the xwayland branch doesn't care if they break other X servers, since it is not supposed to be generic.

The master branch still gets updates, so it's not like it is completely dead.

Switching to meson is probably needed either way, though, as even the master branch has dropped autotools.

- fix permissions of files in xorg-x11-server-source for tigervnc
  build later (needed since latest autoconf)

- Provide again xorg-x11-server-source
  * xwayland sources are not meant for a generic server.
  * TigerVNC/tigervnc#1728

- Stop providing xorg-x11-server-source from xorg-x11-server
  * Now the sources are provided by xwayland because it is more updated.
  * Fixes bsc#1219892.
