[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#795808: [RFR] templates://virtualbox-ext-pack/{templates}

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi Justin, thanks,

I guess I committed them on git!

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox-ext-pack.git/commit/?id=c1089311c88ad62618a74ef31557df9a958c9e3a


I don't know how this deals with the translation updates, please let me know if I need to revert that :)
  


thanks to you all!

G.

Strictly speaking a PIN-numberism (it's even the same "P"), but never
mind.

Of course I couldn't stop myself pointlessly proofreading the
legalese, but I haven't tried to fix it!

That synopsis is a bit long and oddly organised; we might as well
leave the details to the long description, expanding (V)RDP in the
process:

  Description: extra VirtualBox capabilities
   VirtualBox requires an extension pack to provide support for Remote
   Desktop Protocol, USB 2.0, PXE booting for Intel network cards, etc.
   This PUEL-licensed extension pack is free for personal use.
