4 The Spice project aims to provide a complete open source
5 solution for interaction with virtualized desktop devices.
6 The Spice project deals with both the virtualized devices
7 and the front-end. Interaction between front-end and
8 back-end is done using VD-Interfaces.
10 This package implements the slirp-part for Spice.
11 Slirp emulates a PPP or SLIP connection over a normal terminal.

16 This package has some history of a unique kind:
17 - originally developped as 'slirp' by Danny Gasparovski, and
18 seemingly abandonned (developper /disapeared/)
19 - then re-maintained at sourceforge by "Kelly", up to some
20 time around 2009: http://slirp.sourceforge.net/
21 - during that period, QEMU (Fabrice BELLARD) forked the code
22 and included it in QEMU
23 - and it was imported from this breed by the Spice project
25 - which is what we use here
