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 Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
