This PR adds the
spice-vdagentpackage to the recipe and separates the spice packages into a separate module instead of being present under the QEMU module.It is particularly useful for GNOME Boxes (display resizing [clipboard support is already present], etc) and Proxmox SPICE graphic card display mode (for clipboard sharing, etc).
Details
spice-vdagentis a Spice guest agent X11 session agent which supports:Client mouse mode (no need to grab mouse by client, no mouse lag).
Automatic adjustment of the X11 session's number of virtual monitors, and their resolution, to the number of client windows and their resolution.
Support of copy and paste (text and images) between the active X11 session and the client, this supports both the primary selection and the clipboard.
Support for transferring files from the client to the agent.
Testing
I have tested the changes by manually installing the package using
abroot pkgunder a VM running thevm-image.
