Ah, thanks for the context, so it's an audio codec license that has Red Hat dropping it.

Interestingly, it's there in Fedora, so it's upstream from RHEL. Makes the codec situation curious, given even debian still provides it.

rhel 9 has droped all spice supprot out of qemu because it was largely unmainted. at least from a procut point of view we didnt have downstream support for spice in our openstack distobution and the virt team that maintained qemu/libvirt did not have anyone maintianing spice support in geneneral in the virt stack. so rhel took the desices to remvoe it form qemu and all layered productc in rhel 9.0 that change would have been done upstream in centos 9 stream first. in termes of contianers. the nova spice proxy shoudl be aviabel in the vnc proxy container. so if you have a qemu binary in rocky that supports spice then you shoudl be able to jsut change the binary kolla is useign in the vnc proxy contianer to the spice one and that should work. presumabley debian is not compiling out upstream functionallyity so the kolla debian nova-libvirt container shoudl still have spice supprot and you should eb able to use that on your rocky host without being impacted by the removal of supprot from rhel.

I will package it up and do a customer kolla build. Might ping the Rocky team and see if there is an epel / remi like place we can put this.

Thanks for the pointer!

Cheers. Michael

Hi all.

I was looking to use SPICE instead of VNC, but noticed that there are no rocky containers for it on quay.io. I found a ticket for CentOS 8 source, is this still the same reason?
