Which repo [virtualbox (Oracle) or rpmfusion] should one use?
Is Oracle simply a more up-to-date repo? Does rpmfusion packages actually fetch
the Oracle rpm, or is rpmfusion a separate, full build?
The size difference is significant:
rpmfusion VirtualBox-5.2.8-2.fc26.x86_64.rpm 8.1MB
virtualbox VirtualBox-5.2-5.2.8_121009_fedora26-1.x86_64.rpm 69 MB
If the two are different: if I change to use the rpmfusion repo, will the VMs
be compatible?
TIA
Anyone? Should be an easy question for someone who knows?
