Re: Recommended place to get drivers

According to this right now,
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-nsis
it would seem spice-guest-tools is based only in the "stable" branch of the win-virtio ISO, judging by the update date...

Ok, we keep waiting. Driver stills in version 0.18 as of now.
If this patch makes it to release, which win-virtio ISO branch is it normally put in? "Latest"?

I just read spice-server thing is actually a hypervisor part. So if this patch makes it to release, what would I need to update in order to test? All libvirt/spice related packages on openSUSE and whole distro update on Proxmox?

Thanks again.

To be honest, I forgot. The version of the spice-guest-tools installers
corresponds to the versioning of the virtio-win iso image which was
used.
