TigerVNC uses X.Org X Server upstream sources, and patches them.

start_cmd cp -R $S/xorg-server-$XORG_SERVER_VERSION/* $B/unix/xserver/
start_cmd cd unix/xserver
start_cmd patch -p1 < $S/unix/xserver$XORG_SERVER_NNN.patch

Just updating TigerVNC to the latest version 1.12.0 is not that easy, as they removed the vncserver script, and the TigerVNC is supposed to run as a system service.
