- Install and enable the vboxadd-service init script, to make auto-mounting of shared folders and time synchronization work
- Install VBoxService to /usr/sbin/ instead of /usr/bin/ so that vboxadd-service can find it, it cannot be run as user anyway
- Create the /media folder with appropriate permissions on distributions higher than 13.1, it doesn't exist any more and the one that VBoxService creates automatically cannot be accessed by normal users
- Fixes boo#908669 and boo#936254

Version bump to 5.0.2 (released 2015-08-13 by Oracle)
A number of problems were fixed and/or added. In particular, the artifically high load average
problem reported as bsc#939299 has been fixed. The complete list follows:
VMM: added support for guest crash report MSRs with Hyper-V paravirtualization
VMM: fixed an issue causing artifically high load averages on Linux hosts
VMM: fixed a kernel panic with thread-context hooks caused by incompatible changes made to Linux 4.2 kernels
VMM: fixed a saved state issue with VT-x/AMD-V disabled (5.0 regression; bug #14304)
VMM: fixed VERR_SUPDRV_TSC_DELTA_MEASUREMENT_FAILED Guru Meditations on certain AMD CPUs (5.0 regression; bug #14370)
VMM: fixed a crash while creating a guest core dumps via the VM debug facility (5.0 regression)
VMM: This release has AVX2 passthrough disabled on every host and AVX passthrough disabled for 64-bit VMs on 32-bit hosts.
This will be properly fixed in a future 5.0.x maintenance release (see e.g. bug #14262).
GUI: fixed rare hang and crash on VM shutdown/poweroff
GUI: X11: fixed few crashes caused by the Qt alien widgets feature
GUI: X11: fixed various mini-toolbar geometry quirks like positioning, z-order, transiency issues on certain window managers (bug #14257)
GUI: X11: fixed mini-toolbar minimize button issue under certain window managers (bug #14284)
GUI: VM menu actions availability should now be properly updated on full-screen/seamless/scaled mode switches
GUI: disk encryption password validation should be performed when user confirmed the password, not after each entered symbol
GUI: do not change the VM/group selection in the VM Manager to the newly created VM if it was created by another client (e.g. VBoxManage)
GUI: improve the quality in scaled mode under some circumstances (5.0 regression; bug #14303)
VBoxManage: do not deny changing the network adapter type at VM runtime (5.0 regression; bug #14308)
VRDP: allow Windows 10 RDP clients (bug #14216)
Audio: fix a possible crash on VM process termination (5.0 regression)
Storage: improved raw disk access on OS X by unmounting any accessed volume before first use and prevent any mount attempt by the host (bug #14219)
3D: basic support for saving/restoring display lists
Shared Folders: fixed a problem with accessing CIFS shares (bug #14252)
Shared Folders: improved path conversion between hosts and guests with different path separators (bug #14153)
API: skip resetting of immutable media when the VM in saved state is started (bug #13957)
API: fixed method for setting medium IDs which used zero (invalid) UUIDs instead random (valid) UUIDs if no UUIDs were passed (bug #14350)
API: for Windows host fix detection of API client crashes which have a session open
OVF: properly export all VBox features including the setting for paravirtualization (bug #14390)
