RE: FreeBSD Port: virtualbox-ose-4.3.36 - Gone from FreeBSD 11.0?

[Enzmann, Alexander R.]

Thanks, that info helps. I can wait a week or so while the fixes swim 
downstream. I can also toggle the machine in question to 10.2 or 10.3 while I 
wait.

Really appreciate the quick feedback. This is one of the things that makes this 
so great.

Xander

FreeBSD head r295983 introduced a problem, later solved in r296075,
which caused building kernel modules from ports to fail. This has also
been reported in bugzilla. [1]

Unluckily the machines building ports for head have been updated to a
revision affected by that problem, so the build for the port has failed.
The package will be available again once the cluster machines are
updated to a newer snapshot unaffected by this bug (I don't know how
often those are updated).

So it's definitely a short term problem, actually already solved in the
repositories, which isn't virtualbox or ports fault either.

FreeBSD Port: virtualbox-ose-4.3.36 - Gone from FreeBSD 11.0?

[Enzmann, Alexander R.]

Help,

I've been using FreeBSD 11.0 for close to a year, and recently ran into a 
problem.  Virtualbox-ose has disappeared from the list of packages (e.g., 
http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:11:x86:64/latest/All/), and when I build from 
source (portsnap fetch, then make install), virtualbox complains about a 
version mismatch with the kernel and VMs don't run.

Is this simply a timing thing as VirtualBox is updated to match recent 11.0 
changes, or will there be a long term problem?
