Description Guy 2015-07-09 11:28:26 UTC

I've been trying to get seamless host<-->vm cut&paste working in qemu using qxl/spice.

I realized today that the version of spice-vdagent in the portage tree is old.

The lastest stable version of spice-vdagent client appears to be 0.16.0

The same issue appears to apply to app-emulation/spice-protocol

See: http://www.spice-space.org/download.html

Comment 1 Guy 2015-07-09 20:22:10 UTC

As a 'work around', I copied directories /usr/portage/app-emulation/spice-{protocal, vdagent} to /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/spice-{protocol, vdagent}.

I then did:

# cd /usr/local/portage/app-emulation

# cp spice-protocol/spice-protocol-0.12.7.ebuild spice-protocol/spice-protocol-0.12.8.ebuild
# ebuild spice-protocol/spice-protocol-0.12.8.ebuild manifest
# emerge -1 =spice-protocol-0.12.8

# emerge =spice-0.12.5-r1

# cp spice-vdagent/spice-vdagent-0.12.0.ebuild spice-vdagent/spice-vdagent-0.16.0.ebuild
# ebuild spice-vdagent/spice-.ebuild manifest
# emerge =spice-vdagent-0.16.0

All the source packages were properly pulled and all the emerges successfully completed.

My qemu client booted and I was able to work in it. I don't know yet if I've solved my problem with seamless host/client cut&pastes but that's a different issue.

Note: spice-vdagent-0.16.0 apparently requires =spice-protocol-0.12.8. I did not modify the ebuild to reflect this. I just made sure to emerge =spice-protocol-0.12.8 before doing =spice-vdagent-0.16.0
