Given that some pretty conservative core desktop projects (including mesa, glib, gtk+) have already made the move upstream, I think it's the right time for spice-gtk too. The question is which distro we want to support with upstream and upcoming versions. I would say we should target current Fedora release. Anything else can be backported to previous releases, and we can maintain older version branches upstream. > Frediano > _______________________________________________ > Spice-devel mailing list > Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel -- Marc-André Lureau _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
