Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The qspice packages have been added to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 to support the spice protocol in qemu-kvm based virtual machines. qspice constains both client, server and web browser plugin components. However, only the qspice server in the qspice-libs package is fully supported. The qspice client (supplied by the qspice package) and qspice mozilla plugin (supplied by the qspice-mozilla package) are both included as Technology Previews. The qspice-libs package contains the server implementation that is used in conjunction with qemu-kvm and as such is fully supported. However, in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 there is no libvirt support for the spice protocol; the only supported use of spice in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 is through the use of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization product.

Cause: qspice package is being added to RHEL 5.4 to support spice protocol in qemu-kvm based virtual machines.

Consequence: qspice constains both client, server and web browser plugin components.  But not all of these are supported in RHEL5.4. Only qspice server in the qspice-libs package is fully supported.  The qspice client (qspice RPM) and qspice-mozilla plugin (qspice-mozilla) are considered tech preview.

qspice package contains the qspice client that is used to establish a session over the qspice protocol.  qspice-mozilla is a plugin for the web browsers.  The qspice-libs package contains the server implementation that is used in conjunction with qemu-kvm and as such is fully supported.  However, in RHEL5.4 there is no libvirt support for the spice protocol meaning that the only supported use of spice in RHEL5.4 is through the use of the RHEV product.

Fix: N/A

Result: N/A
