This is the update of libvirt to the latest version 2.1.
The most important change from a packager view is the new virtlogd
daemon.
This daemon handles the qemu output and wrote it to log files.
The require some changes:
- A new init script to start, stop restart the daemon called virtlogd.
The daemon is restart with SIGUSR1 (this is important because the daemon
keeps all pipelines etc. open).
This introduces a problem with the uninstall.sh install.sh script.
It is not possible to stop the daemon while virtual machines are
running, so the script update.sh execute from now not uninstall.sh and
install.sh instead it contains all steps from uninstall.sh install.sh
expect the start / stop routine for virtlogd. The daemon is just
restarted after the update, which makes sure that all changes take
effect.
- new symlinks in the uninstall.sh and install.sh script and some root
file changes because of the new virtlogd init script.
- the archive format changes from tar.gz to tar.xz

This package adds support for the use redirection of spice.
It is now possible to attach USB devices of the host where the spice
client run to the virtual machine.
The binary is not needed for this functionality and that's why they is
not shipped with the package
This feature is also enabled in qemu.

The directory /etc/libvirt is backed up on uninstallation and is
restored on installation.
Alle Files in /var are commented in the rootfile so they are not
removed on uninstallation.
Because of the fact that the directories are not shipped with the
package they were created at installation time.
The permissions of 3 directories are changed because the qemu user is
nobody and the qemu group is kvm, so the permissions must be nobody:kvm

This patch update qemu to version 2.6
For changelogs see:
http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.5http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.6
Qemu try to built with bluez, but before version 2.6 bluez was not used
by qemu on IPFire, so I think it is better to disable bluez because
nobody needs it before version 2.6 and our bluez is not the latest
version so I think this will cause more problems than benefits.

This patch update spice to a version which is not vulnerable.
Changelog:
Changes in 0.12.8:
==================
* Fixes for CVE-2016-0749 and CVE-2016-2150
Changes in 0.12.7:
==================
* spice-server will now send TCP keepalive probes on the TCP connections
it
uses. This can prevent unwanted idle disconnections if proxies are
used
between the client and the host.
* Fix important memory usage when the webdav channel is used
* Do not disconnect when the client requests an unsupported compression
type
* Fix a few race conditions
* Fix display glitch when using XSpice
* Improve help string for 'replay -s'
* Fix crashes in corner cases (buggy spice-html5 + win10, vnc + SPICE
port
configured, USB webcam redirection over a slow link)
* Fix various compilation warning when building on 32 bit machines
* Some fixes for big-endian machines, more work is likely to be needed
* Do not build static libraries by default, this can be reenabled with
--enable-static
* Fix small leak in MJPEG code

As a normal user, it is not possible to use qemu with KVM. This is bad
because it is better when it is possible to start the machine with a
less privileged user. To achieve this a group KVM is created and the
access to /dev/kvm is allowed for this group. So every user in this
group can use qemu with KVM.
This change is also useful for libvirt because the VMs can be started
with user nobody and group kvm.
