Bug#904765: looking-glass packaging questions
Hello everyone I do have some changes I want to make to the package to make it
more comfortable to use.
Before the first use the looking-glass host (this package) requires some
changes to the libvirt-qemu abstract apparmor profile. Explicility changing
"/{dev,run}/shm r," to read-write
The problem is I have to either change this file or libvirts apparmor template
both of which are not owned by my own package. In the later case only future
VMs would have the correct option.
Or I could just print a dialog saying change it yourself. What would be the
preferred way here?
Another possible step that could be taken is to create the shm device
automatically on install i.e. with a oneshot systemd service. That would be
easy and remove an additional step without much interference with the rest of
the system. Does anyone know of a package which has to do something similar?
The last change is something maybe for the future. The software depends on a
client component for windows which currently needs to be downloaded from the
authors website. I imagine one could supply a self cross-compiled windows
executable on an iso that could be easily mounted into the vm and installed
from there. Has anyone done something similar to this? So far I know only of
virtio drivers but they are not supplied by debian anywhere as far as i can see.

Debian has mingw cross-compilers for Windows as well as a few packages that contain cross-compiled Windows executables. In particular Debian's win32-loader package (built using the nsis Windows installer creator) contains an executable that runs on Windows and adds Debian installer images to the Windows boot menu. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mingw https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=win32 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/tools/win32-loader/unstable/ -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
