[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#775047: virtualbox-guest-source: provide a guest package for debian bsd

[Graham Inggs]

To get a head start in packaging this for kfreebsd, it may be possible 
to use the pre-built kernel modules from the FreeBSD 
virtualbox-ose-additions port in a kFreeBSD VM.  The files are available 
here:
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=emulators&portname=virtualbox-ose-additions

Download the virtualbox-ose-additions-4.3.26 file from the 
10amd64-default or 10i386-default built enviroment.
Extract the file boot/modules/vboxguest.ko and drop it in the correct 
modules directory for your kernel (mine was /lib/modules/10.1-0-686/ ).
Now run 'kldload vboxguest', there is no output but you can verify that 
the module was loaded by running 'kldstat' ('vboxguest.ko' should be 
listed) or 'dmesg | tail' (you should see  'vboxguest: loaded 
successfully') or 'ls -l /dev/vboxguest' should show that the device has 
been created.

FreeBSD's patches for their virtualbox-ose-additions port are also 
available in GitHub:
