Hi,
A user just contributed a script that downloads and installs the extension pack for VirtualBox. I would like to get the sense of VB users regarding implementation of this script in the post-install routine for the openSUSE package.
Personally, I really like the idea. I usually forget to look on my mostly-headless system that I run VB on, and after an upgrade, I sometimes am caught out by the fact that the extensions also needed to be upgraded, and that sometimes prevents a VM from resuming.
Automating that would definitely resolve that issue for me.
I had completely forgotten about Oracle's PUEL licensing terms - free for personal use, must be purchased for business use.
On that basis, I'd be more inclined to say don't automatically run it, but maybe either (a) package it separately so installing it is an option, or (b) include the script in the package but don't run it automatically.
Jim, if I understand Larry correctly, he would package a script, that does the usual manual operations in the background. Given, the script runs automatically only after a manual installation with license agreement accepted and a check, that an *older* extpack exists already (in case, the user changes his mind and uninstalls it), we should be save legally wise and profit from more comfortable updates.
