[Spice-devel] [ announce ] libspice api changes merge, qemu repo change.

[Gerd Hoffmann]

   Hi,

Today the libspice server API changes have been merged into the spice 
repository (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/).

What does this mean?

   (1) qemu (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/qemu/) builds now with
       upstream/master spice.  Yay!  It is strongly recommended to
       switch over using that version as soon as possible.  It features
       latest qemu bits, including virtio-serial for example.

       There are branches named spice.v$version.  Each time the patches
       are rebased to a newer upstream version $version is incremented.
       Right now the latest version is 9.

   (2) vdesktop (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/vdesktop/) stops
       building with the latest spice bits.  Using vdesktop is
       deprecated now.  The last working commit has been tagged
       'vdesktop' in the spice repository, so if you still need it
       for some reason or another it is easily possible to get a
       spice checkout supporting vdesktop.  There will be no development
       any more though.

   (3) We are one step closer to getting spice upstream.

Fedora packages are at http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/spice/
Builds are still running, package updates will be uploaded later today.

enjoy,
   Gerd
