Hi all!
I already push virtualbox-ose 4.0.0 BETA 1 to Virtualization repo : https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=virtualbox-ose&project=Virtualization sr is always welcome :)
see 4.0.0 BETA1 announcement : http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=36748
a lot of new features e.g. usb 1.1. support is now open source ...
but I think, for our suse vbox package is a key feature "extension pack architecture" which means "No more OSE vs PUEL just VirtualBox (100% OSS) + optional PUEL extension pack", this means : in http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.0_BETA1/ you could find only OSE versions of rpm packages which should be the same like virtualbox-ose packages prepared in our buildservice (with one exception we don't use dkms - we prepare kernel modules directly in buildservice )
I see here duplicity work, what do you think ?
Yes, the RPM SPEC files which were proprietary in the past, are now Open-Sourced too with v4.0. As for the kernel-modules - I like the openSUSE approach very much, without dkms. One *huge* difference: v4.0 has now fully Open-Source Additions, which should be shipped with openSUSE. Previously Guest Additions were not shipped with openSUSE, because they were 95% Open-Source with 5% proprietary code mixed. Summary: Open-Sourced with VirtualBox v4.0: (in previous release those were proprietary) -User Manual Sources -USB 1.1 -Installers (Windows + RPM SPECs) -Shared Folders for Windows Guests -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
