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

User interface: show full file location in New Medium window.
User interface: fix mouse click pass-through problems in multi-screen virtual machines (6.0.6 regression, bug #18567)
Graphics: fixed a crash when powering off a VM without graphics controller (bug #18570)
API: partial fix for dealing with VM config conflicting with other VMs related to medium UUIDs, now correctly flags VM as inaccessible (bug #17908)
Linux hosts: fix kernel module build breakage in non-default build set-ups (bug #18620, thank you Ambroz Bizjak)
Linux hosts: fix kernel module build breakage in debug build set-ups (bug #18621, thank you Ambroz Bizjak)
Windows guests: notice file size increases in shared folders which were missed in certain cases
Linux guests: make shared folders work with Linux 3.16.35
Linux guests: fix incorrectly read-only shared folders (bug #18345)
- 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

1. Sustituted /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ => %python3_sitelib
2. Reverted change that eliminated use of %{_tmppath}/SITE_FILES for Python 3.6
3. As vboxapisetup.py in Python 3.7 no longer accepts the --record-rpm switch,
SITE_FILES does not exist, and the individual files must still be listed.

Change kernel module code to build against the API changes in kernel 4.20 - This change
adds file "fixes_for_4.20".
- Require(pre) virtualbox by the -qt package: otherewise it might
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

USB passthru opens a security hole, yet it is so valuable that many users want the feature, thus it is our default.
Previously, a user needed to edit a udev rule to disable passthru. The bad part was that an update of VB changed the
rule back to allow passthru without any notification. These changes modify the popup to allow the user to accept or decline
passthru. If the user declines, then the root password is requested and the udev rule is modified. As these modifications will be
lost with the next VB update, the inode of the udev rule is kept. If the user has previously declined and the inode has changed,
the popup will show the next time VB is started. File "fix_usb_rules.sh" is added.

* Add VBoxVNC as a proper external pack rather than just make the so available (bnc #1037033). Thanks to Michal Nowak for most of this effort.
One hack was required to work around a bug in "VBoxManage extpack install" whereby the --accept-license option failed to work.
* Improve startup of VirtualBox through use of systemd service files:
a. Beginning with Oracle version 5.0.8, the command used to build the kernel modules outside of the RPM packaging
code changed; however, the openSUSE version did not implement the new method. That new code is now implemented.
b. In Tumbleweed, the SysV init scripts to systemd service files stopped working. Part of the new code also checks
to see if the kernel modules are loaded. If not, new script files are called to include the necessary packages
and build the necessary modules.
c. The hooks are in place to remove the sysv init files and do the complete conversion to systemd. This step will
be done at a later time.
* New files are "vboxconfig.sh", "vboxguestconfig.sh", "vboxdrv.service", and "vboxadd-service.service".
* New sub-packages virtualbox-guest-source and virtualbox-vnc are produced.
* Some typos in virtualbox.spec are fixed.
- Add libelf-devel to build. Fixes bnc #1037511.
Modified the startup files to build the kernel modules if they are missing. Files "vboxconfig.sh" and "vboxguestconfig" added.

Storage: fixed a potential hang under rare circumstances (bug #16677)
Storage: fixed a potential crash under rare circumstances (asynchronous I/O disabled or during maintenance file operations like merging snapshots)
Linux hosts: make the ALSA backend work again as well as loading the GL libraries on certain hosts (5.1.20 regression; bugs #16667, #16693)
Linux Additions: fixed mount.vboxsf symlink problem (5.1.20 regression; bug #16670)

These should be converted to the service files native to systemd. This issue has been forced
as a recent update to Tumbleweed broke the startup of VB for both TW hosts and guests. This
change starts the conversion to native systemd files. The original scripts are still used; however,
service files are used to start and stop the VB components. In a later change, all action will
be accomplished using systemd service files.
