[Spice-devel] spice-xpi deprecated soon

[RK RK]

Thanks for your reply Christophe, I am using oVirt 3.6.3 in my production
environment with 250 Virtual Desktops accessed from within the office
premises.

Our users will have thin client devices running trimmed down version of
CentOS 7 with spice-xpi installed via yum.

Please let me know if you need more details on this.
