Patch to include in app-emulation/spice-0.12.4

Since the stabilization of x11-drivers/xf86-video-qxl 0.1.1, Xspice segfault at startup because it use the new API to add memslot.

Step to reproduce:

1) USE=xspice emerge -1 =11-drivers/xf86-video-qxl-0.1.1
2) start GDM or Xspice script
3) Get the segfault

To prevent this segfault we need to use a patch from the future spice 0.12.5 release.

Upstream fixes:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/commit/?id=1d18b7e98ab268c755933061d77ccc7a981815e2

I have worked on this issue with upstream guys and running spice 0.12.4 with the attached patch works well.

Comment 1 David 2014-05-20 11:36:49 UTC

spice 0.12.5 is released. It include the fix that cause the Xorg segfault with xf86-video-qxl-0.1.1.

We need to bump to 0.12.5 and remove older releases (or include the patch attached)

0.12.5 is stable for a long time now.
