Hans de Goede b42f2e1fc9 Silence __spice_char_device_write_buffer_get: internal buf is not available
These messages are printed when the server tries to push a mouse event to
the agent before the previous one has been flushed. This is a normal condition
(which gets tracked by the reds->pending_mouse_event boolean), and as such
it should *not* trigger the printing of error messages.

I've seen these messages occasionally before, but with agent file-xfer they
are trivial to trigger, simply send a large file to the agent and while it
is transferring move the mouse over the client window. Note that due to the
client tokens not allowing the client to completely saturate the agent
channel mouse events do still get send to the agent, just with a slightly
larger interval. So everything is working as designed and this spice_printerr
is just leading to people chasing ghosts.

   SPICE: Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments
   =============================================================

SPICE is a remote display system built for virtual environments which
allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the
machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and
from a wide variety of machine architectures.

Installation
------------

The SPICE package uses GNU autotools, so the build install process
follows the standard process documented in the INSTALL file. As a
quick start you can do

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib
  make
  sudo make install

Or to install into a private user specific location

  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/spice
  make
  make install

The following mandatory dependancies are required in order to
build SPICE

    Spice protocol >= 0.9.0
    Celt           >= 0.5.1.1, < 0.6.0
    Pixman         >= 0.17.7
    OpenSSL
    libjpeg
    zlib
    Cyrus-SASL

The following optional dependancies increase the available
functionality

    GE Gui         >= 0.6.0,  < 0.7.0   (GUI app support)
    OpenGL                              (GUI app support)
    Alsa                                (Linux support)
    XRandR         >= 1.2               (X11 support)
    Xinerama       >= 1.0               (X11 support)
    libcacard      >= 0.1.2             (Smartcard support)
    Slirp                               (Tunnelling support)

Communication
-------------

To communicate with the development team, or to post patches
there is a technical mailing list:

   http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel

There is also a mailing list for new release announcements:

   http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-announce/

To view known bugs, or report new bugs, in SPICE visit

   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Spice

Bugs found when using an OS distribution's binary packages should
be reported to the OS vendors' own bug tracker first.

The latest SPICE code can be found in GIT at:

   http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/
