Right ... I meant that kmod-spice-usb-redirector was removed from the distro (which is what we mistakenly released). We could release both kspiceusb-kmod and spice-usb-redirector (they are both open source) ... but we normally do not release things on the Supplementary ISOs (GPL or not). That first release was a mistake. Since 5.5 is going into the vault, we can do one of two things here ... not release the 2 supplementary files (our normal practice), or release them if there are people currently using our kmod-spice-usb-redirector. I am open to either solution ... but if someone does not convince me they need those 2 packages, I vote for let it die since it should not have been released. I can be persuaded, however, if people need it. Thanks, Johnny -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
