[Spice-devel] Spice Protocol Missing Headers

[geoff at hostfission.com]

I just spent the last hour searching for the header that contains 
"RedInit" according to the Spice protocol specification, frustratingly 
not finding it.

After digging through the client source I finally discovered it wasn't 
renamed to "SpiceInit", but to "SpiceMsgMainInit". Seems the Spice 
protocol documentation needs quite a bit of TLC.

Anyway, this is more about the missing headers in the spice-protocol 
project. The header in question is 'spice-common/common/messages.h' 
Since distributions such as Debian are distributing a dev package for 
the protocol package, on these platforms the header is missing. It seems 
that it has ended up in the wrong place as it is clearly a requirement 
for developing any clients that interact with the protocol directly. I 
can work around this by grabbing a copy of spice-common but this seems 
more of a work around rather then a fix for the problem.

Is anyone able to provide any insight on this?
