The Spice project aims to provide a complete open source
|
solution for interaction with virtualized desktop devices.
|
The Spice project deals with both the virtualized devices
|
and the front-end. Interaction between front-end and
|
back-end is done using VD-Interfaces.
|
|
This package implements the slirp-part for Spice. Slirp
|
emulates a PPP or SLIP connection over a normal terminal.

NOTE:
|
This package has some history of a unique kind:
|
- originally developped as 'slirp' by Danny Gasparovski, and
|
seemingly abandonned (developper /disapeared/)
|
- then re-maintained at sourceforge by "Kelly", up to some
|
time around 2009: http://slirp.sourceforge.net/
|
- during that period, QEMU (Fabrice BELLARD) forked the code
|
and included it in QEMU
|
- and it was imported from this breed by the Spice project
|
around May 2009
|
- which is what we use here
