[Spice-devel] Spice Client for Arm (armel)

[Sarfaraz Ahmad]

I am having trouble finding a alpha repository for fedora 18 arm. Also i believe (this part is specifically for raspberry pi) that the fedora arm port has taken soft-float approach for floating point operation. Will this affect using spicy/virt-viewer functionality in f18 arm port for raspberry pi?

Or will it require backporting ? Can i compile libraries and dependencies for the package on fedora17 ? Any inputs are welcome.

The bets way forward would be to upgrade to the F-18 development release
for arm it is working quite well actually (or so I've been told).
