Comment 1 Vivian Bian 2011-04-08 03:16:46 UTC
Since there isn't an exact spice-gtk component in BZ . So file this bug on spice-server first .

Comment 2 Vivian Bian 2011-04-08 03:18:22 UTC
Since now it is late for 6.1 build to fix this problem, request to fix it on 6.2

Comment 4 David Jaša 2011-05-19 13:01:45 UTC
I've tried to build spice-gtk from upstream git ( git://gitorious.org/spice-gtk/spice-gtk.git ) on my RHEL-nightly laptop. I needed to backport this stuff:

* gtk-introspection - included in build system, but not included in RHEL 6 builds: 
https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/packageinfo?packageID=14420

* RHEL vala is stuck at 0.7 series and it isn't shipped:
https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/packageinfo?packageID=17605
EPEL vala is at 0.10.4:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4055
so it would be necessary to update it o 0.11.7 and push it to RHEL

Maybe there was something more I didn't notice as I backported other packages to the system earlier.

Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2011-05-19 13:35:34 UTC
These requirements are only needed when building from git, if you get a tarball, gobject-introspection is optional, and vala won't be needed since the tarball will contain the preprocessed .c files.

Comment 6 Christophe Fergeau 2011-05-25 11:07:09 UTC
For what it's worth, I've prepared spice-gtk 0.6 packages for rawhide and epel6 which I hope to be able to push shortly (some time today or tomorrow). Vivian, would an EPEL package be enough for your testing for now?

Comment 7 Christophe Fergeau 2011-05-27 14:43:20 UTC
It's being built on http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3096144

Comment 10 Christophe Fergeau 2011-08-05 15:56:18 UTC
There's now a spice-gtk build in 6.2, see https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/packageinfo?packageID=32830

Comment 13 Gianluca Cecchi 2011-11-16 17:24:45 UTC
Hello,
where to find spicy in rh el 6.2 beta?
Installed spice-gtk-0.6-2.el6.x86_64.rpm but
# rpm -ql spice-gtk
/usr/lib64/libspice-client-gtk-2.0.so.1
/usr/lib64/libspice-client-gtk-2.0.so.1.1.0
/usr/share/doc/spice-gtk-0.6
/usr/share/doc/spice-gtk-0.6/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/spice-gtk-0.6/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/spice-gtk-0.6/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/spice-gtk-0.6/README

No spice-gtk-tools as in Fedora?
I see anyway that in spice-gtk-python-0.6-2.el6.x86_64.rpm there is the module to use spice inside virt-manager
Thanks,
Gianluca

> No spice-gtk-tools as in Fedora?

If you can not find spice-gtk-tools in any repository, you can get it by rebuilding spice-gtk source package.

Comment 15 Gianluca Cecchi 2011-11-17 08:13:42 UTC
Is there any particular reason why in current build setup for the new spice-gtk package as in 6.2 beta, spice-gtk-tools is not generated?

Comment 16 Christophe Fergeau 2011-11-21 11:55:32 UTC
spice-gtk-tools is available from the "optional" 6.2 repository
