Description David Jaša 2012-09-14 11:30:12 UTC
Description of problem:
display more information in About dialog of windows version

Such information useful for debugging would be:
  * revision, in addition to version (0.5.3-11 for instance instead of 0.5.3)
  * spice-gtk version
  * architecture (x32 and x64 to follow windows habits)
  * usbclerk and/or old usb redirector versions and status if USB share
    is enabled
  * possibly also build date or ID (this is also in binary and process
    properties)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.1 beta1 build

Comment 1 David Jaša 2012-09-14 11:32:14 UTC
For clarification, this applies just to Windows versions where some of the info is harder to find than on RHEL.

Comment 3 Marc-Andre Lureau 2012-10-11 19:34:34 UTC
it's not so easy.. extracting revision of dependencies during build time is almost mission impossible today.

* architecutre, version and revision of deps are already part of the $prefix/deps file
* I guess we could obtain usbclerck status somehow, but I am not sure that would be so helpful if you can't manage it
* build date could be added to deps file

We need to redefine the needed information. Eventually the deps file could be cleaned up a little and opened/shown in the about dialog.

Comment 4 Marc-Andre Lureau 2012-10-29 13:27:11 UTC
David, is the $installprefix/deps.txt file enough for now?

Comment 5 David Jaša 2012-10-29 13:29:34 UTC
Looks good, thanks for the pointer. BTW could the file use crlf line endings so that it can be displayed fine just with notepad?

it is already, perhaps you are using an older version.

Comment 7 Marc-Andre Lureau 2012-10-30 18:39:11 UTC
closing as worksforme, since requested information are available already in deps.txt
