[Spice-devel] Questions about spice tools being installed by default

[Jeremy Bicha]

I added spice-vdagent to Ubuntu GNOME 16.10's default install so that
it will work better in the GNOME Boxes app.

Should qemu-guest-agent and spice-webdavd be installed by default too?

I'm thinking about mentioning these packages to other Ubuntu flavors
in case they want to add them to the default install.

Could you give a brief explanation of what each of the 3 packages do
and what the benefits are of them being installed?

Do these agents have any downsides when installed outside of a spice VM?

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
