[Spice-devel] oVirt support in aSPICE stalled due to broken network file I/O

[i iordanov]

Hey guys,

I've been looking at adding oVirt support to aSPICE, and at the moment I'm
completely stuck because of some glib functionality not working on Android.
The library govirt uses glib's convenient support for network file I/O (for
fetching certificates, VMs, etc.), but because of gio's reliance on gvfsd,
network file I/O does not operate on Android.

I've reported the bug to GNOME here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707796

but this will take a very long time to be fixed if it gets fixed at all.

In the meanwhile, (Christophe), do you think it's feasible to work around
this issue by augmenting govirt with some alternate methods of reading
files from the oVirt proxy (i.e. outside glib, download the file to a
temporary location and open it as a local file, etc.)?

Many thanks!
iordan
