Public bug reported:
Actually, the novnc package depends on nova-common or the package
provide separate components:
novnc provide:
- a html5 client application (js+html+css) that use websocket
protocol to encapsulate vnc protocol
- a python library to quickly build a websocket server for novnc
- 2 websocket servers:
* a simple one: proxy one vnc tcp connection to vnc websocket
connection
* a openstack one: that retreive from nova, vnc parameters of the vms (ip,
port, auth, ...) and proxy websocket connection to their
- a some other optional small tools
And so, Users can/want to use novnc as a simple websocket vnc proxy
without installing nova.
So I propose to split the package with this following contents:
- novnc: /usr/share/novnc/*
- python-novnc: /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages/*
- nova-novncproxy: /usr/bin/nova-novncproxy and /etc/init.d/nova-novncproxy
(instead of /etc/init.d/novnc)
- nova-utils: /usr/bin/u2x11 and /usr/bin/websockify, /usr/lib/*
