Subscribing motu-release for ACKing.
My upload would include the following changes:
[ Jonathan Ernst ]
* Virtualbox should go in Accessories, not in System tools (LP: #288590)
[ Daniel Hahler ]
* New upstream version (LP: #288957)
- Updated debian/patches/09-initscript.dpatch (one hunk rejected/obsolete)
* Drop debconf question about losing snapshots because of upgrading: it is
no longer relevant and the default (cancel upgrade) caused a lot of
trouble (LP: #288178, #221736)
- debian/virtualbox-ose.preinst.in, debian/virtualbox-ose.templates,
debian/rules
* Improve patch for disabling the "check for updates" dialog (LP: #272212)
- debian/patches/13-disable-update-action.dpatch
* Disable registration request at Sun (LP: #285684, #271603)
- debian/patches/14-disable-registration-request.dpatch
The package builds fine, installs and upgrades.
I've checked that it runs as expected (tested with an Intrepid guest).
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
I know it might be a problem to incorporate this release in Intrepid but
a couple of items from the changelog for 2.0.4 caught my interest:
# Linux additions: fixed seek() for files bigger than 2GB (bug #2379)
# Linux additions: support Ubuntu 8.10
# Linux additions: clipboard fixes (bug #2015)
Certainly it would be nice if the version of VirtualBox shipping with
Ubuntu 8.10 has support for Ubuntu 8.10. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 guests
currently but that's using vt-x. I assume this is some sort of software
support but the changelog is not clear. But given the number of bugs
fixed this would probably be worth updating in Intrepid if at all
- possible:
+ possible.
