[Bug 1004776] Re: Boxes should recommend qemu-kvm-spice not qemu-kvm

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

Uploaded.

As you're an uploader in Debian, what's the chance of using dpkg-vendor
to generate this at build time so we don't have to keep merging this?

Something like, in debian/rules:

ifeq ($(shell dpkg-vendor --derives-from Ubuntu && echo yes),yes)
	DEB_DH_GENCONTROL_ARGS_ALL = -- -Vdist:Recommends="qemu-kvm-spice"
else
	DEB_DH_GENCONTROL_ARGS_ALL = -- -Vdist:Recommends="qemu-kvm"
endif


And in debian/control{.in}:

Recommends: ${dist:Recommends}

Thanks!

Title:
  Boxes should recommend qemu-kvm-spice not qemu-kvm

Status in “gnome-boxes” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  GNOME Boxes is a simple app to access remote or virtual machines and
  is basically a SPICE frontend. Unlike in Debian, Ubuntu's qemu-kvm was
  not compiled with spice support. On Ubuntu, gnome-boxes should instead
  recommend qemu-kvm-spice which does have the spice support.

  Patch attached.
