Re: [Xen-devel] [Qemu-devel] [Spice-devel] Automatic spice port selection

   Hi,

Can someone add spice automatic port selection on qemu similar to vnc ones
please?
Not so easy as this is handled by spice-server not qemu, so this
requires some new interfaces to communicate the listening address to
qemu.  Otherwise you can't see the port selected in 'info spice', which
would make the whole thing pretty pointless.

Also note that the automatic port selection code in qemu is rarely used
in practice due to libvirt doing the port selection in typical setups.
And it is a bit flaky.  I've seen it happily grab port 5900 in ipv6
space even though it was in use in ipv4 space.  Which is probably not
the behavior expected by most users ...

cheers,
   Gerd

Thanks for your reply.
In xen I always used the vnc automatic port selection, which use the qemu's auto port selection. Now I'm switching from vnc to spice on xen production systems, and I need an automatic port selection like vnc. I believe that lot of xen users will like this feature and part of them still stuck on vnc due to the lack of it.
Could any one help to add this feature?
Why not implement it on libxl? (awaiting xen-devel feedback)

Thanks for any reply.
