[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#486544: virtualbox-ose: please install VBoxHeadless

[Stefan Lippers-Hollmann]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.2-dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Since 1.6.0 SUN includes VBoxHeadless in VirtualBox-OSE, even though the 
RDP server is stripped out and allows no direct console access, 
VBoxHeadless is still pretty convenient to start up existing VMs 
unattended (in combination with ssh and host interface networking) for 
testing server containers.

The attached patch installs /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxHeadless, hooks up the 
symlinks to the adapted VBox.sh and is working very well on amd64 and i386
hosts.

Regards
