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 |
