[opensuse-virtual] why is usbredirection not enabled in qemu
Hello, Does anybody know why qemu is build without usbredirection ? I personally have build it with usbredirection and find the option to use my local usb devices in my remote vm very usefull. Just imagine what the use could be if your local usb-hub would be redirected to the virtual machine that you use as a desktop at home while you are at work via ssh or some other vpn. (or ofcourse the other way around when you need to do stuff at work that you couldn't be bothered to make the journey for :-) I've been using the usbredir with ssh encrypted tunnels for some time now, and am very happy with it.

It's not intentionally disabled that I know of. Instead of arguing why it may be useful, just submit an SR against qemu.spec.in and qemu.spec to show which changes are needed to enable it. :-) Regards, Andreas -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer; HRB 16746 AG Nürnberg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
