- Merge host kmp and guest kmp into a single kmp. The existence of two different kernel module
packages is believed to be the reason that it is possible for a new kernel not to include
the necessary kernel modules (boo#1142955).
Files "virtualbox-host-kmp-files" and "virtualbox-guest-kmp-files" are deleted.
File "virtualbox-kmp-files" is added.
Files "virtualbox-host-preamble" and virtualbox-guest-preamble" are deleted.
File "virtualbox-kmp-preamble" is added.
File "fix_conflict_between_host_and_guest.patch" is added.
- Script vboxdrv.sh, which is called from the systemd service file, incorrectly called a routine
that does not exist when the kernel modules were not available. This call is changed to /sbin/vboxconfig
that will build the modules if the requisite packages are available. If that is not true, the
systemctl status vboxdrv will list the command needed to load the missing packages. This change
address part of boo#1142995.

Hi Larry,
here we go..
this version of VB is tested successfully with TW and 15.0, builds
with 42.3, 15.0, 15.0 with Kernel:stable, 15.1, TW, and behaves
properly autostart-wise.
So it's good to go from my POV.
Cheers,
Pete

- add vboxautostart.service
- clean up vboxdrv.sh
- fix build of vboxvideo kernel module by replacing the relative
drm include patch with an absolute include path (with sed)
- build vboxvideo kernel module for openSUSE >= 15.0
- apply fixes_for_Leap15.1.patch conditionally only
- add minimal patch fixes_for_Leap42.3.patch to build for 42.3

- Modify "fixes_for_qt13.1" for i586 builds qith Qt 5.13
- Limit all architectures to a maxium of 2 jobs. Without this restriction, 32-bit builds run
out of memory, and 64-bit builds get strange crashes.
- LTO builds still failing. Reset flag to nil.
- Changed the way that the spec file limits the 32-bit builds to 2 threads. boo#1133492.
If enough memory were allocated so that the full number of workers were allowed, the job would never be scheduled.

Hi Larry,
here's is my current state of VB affairs. It's more a RFC, but it
contains everything to build that biest for the most prominent
distributions.
The new patch virtualbox-fix-ui-background-color.patch is an attempt
to deuglify the UI with certain color schemes.
Again, RFC stuff for you to look at.
Thanks,
Pete
- adjust patch virtualbox-fix-ui-background-color.patch to really
fix the background color messing...
- add patch to stop UI messing with Highlight Color for background
- apply fixes_for_qt5.13.patch for Qt versions >= 5.13.0 only
- Add setBadness('permissions-unauthorized-file',333) to rpmlintrc
- Remove suid attributes from all files
- add libgsoap version dependency >= 2.8.50 (recv_maxlength)
- Fix virtualbox wrapper script virtualbox-wrapper.sh to check
60-vboxdrv.rules in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d, not /etc/udev/rules.d
Logic is still flawed, until it doesn't take both locations into
account
- Add custom /etc/permission.d/virtualbox{,.paranoid} definitions
- Add compatibility symlink to keep old desktop links functional

2. Reverted change that eliminated use of %{_tmppath}/SITE_FILES for Python 3.6

happen that virtualbox-qt is installed before virtualbox, which
then results in files being assigned to group 'root' instead of
'vboxusers', as the group is only created later.

The specific changes are:
(1) Remove the test in vboxdrv.sh as the script tests for the wrong file. This is safe because
if the package is not installed, the script will not be there.
(2) Move VBoxDbg.so to package virtualbox-qt. With this change, packages libQt5Core, libQt5Gui
and libQt5Widgets are no longer needed with package virtualbox. As a result, a text-only
server no longer needs to load QT to support headless virtual machines.

Hi Larry,
I finally put some effort in fixing the VM autostart mechanics,
that are terminally broken in the current package (due to the way,
systemd interacts with Sys-V init scripts, stop operations aren't
executed most of the time, because it lost track of the state...).
With these changes, I'm able to reliably start/stop all VMs on
hosts ranging from 13.2 to 42.2. I'm confident, this will improve
for all systemd based systems, i.o.w all those systems we care about..
It resembles pretty much the same scheme, vboxdrv is using already.
Give it a try.
- reorganize vbox autostart, coping with systemd:
- add /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxes.sh (based on /etc/init.d/vboxes)
- add /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxes.service
- remove /etc/init.d/vboxes
