[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#610010: virtualbox-ose: Consider merging porting freebsd efforts into kfreebsd

[Witold Baryluk]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 3.2.12-dfsg-1
Severity: normal

According to http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox
virtualbox-ose works on sufficiently new FreeBSD kernels,
including both hosting virtualbox (includes vboxdrv and
vboxnet drivers in kernel), as well guest support (
vboxguest and vboxservice kernel modules + vboxvideo,
vboxmouse xorg drivers).

I think having working virtualbox on kfreebsd will make
more people consider using it as main operating system,
and testing it longer, as they will always have virtualbox
which can provide easly for example Debian GNU/Linux,
if something is still missing.

What do you think?
