2.21. RHEA-2009:1309: qcairo
A new package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Cairo is a 2D graphics library designed to provide high-quality display and print output. Currently
supported output targets include the X Window System, OpenGL (via glitz), in-memory image buffers,
and image files (PDF, PostScript, and SVG).
Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media while taking advantage of display
hardware acceleration when available (for example, through the X Render Extension or OpenGL).
qcairo
is a version of the cairo 2D graphics library, with additional features required to support the
implementation of the SPICE protocol. (

virtualization products.

A new
qffmpeg
package, required for hypervisor Spice protocol support, is now available.

the upstream version.
This new package provides the codecs required for SPICE protocol support in the Linux KVM

inadvertently bundling or shipping any encumbered code or binaries. (
