Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 stable and Spice-Gtk-0.7 on Ubuntu 11.10

All packages required are already in PPA “Qemu-kvm 0.15.0 and Spice on Ubuntu 11.10″. Spice-gtk-0.7 has been done for Oneiric as two builds. First one with python, gobject-introspection enabled and –with-gtk=”2.0″(GTK2). Second one –with-introspection and –with-gtk=”3.0″ (GTK3).This builds actually are the core builds in PPA, which bring RH’s technologies to Ubuntu 11.10. Notice, that option –with-audio=”pulse” is also used by both builds and appears to be working fine. Version of Spice Server has been
also upgraded to 0.8.2.
