Re: [boinc_dev] BOINC - October 2017 VirtualBox and VBoxWrapper updates

[Jacob Klein]

David:

I saw your updated 26200 zip files from last night, and I'll call them "Release 
3" (since you keep reusing the same filenames).

I just concluded my testing of this "Release 3" 26200 version, and everything 
that I tested worked well. LHC VMs are able to resume in 5.2, and start new 
5.2. RNA World VMs are able to resume in 5.2. And stderr.txt was using correct 
version numbering.

May I recommend this version for Christian to consider using on RNA World? [I 
ask in case you are planning additional changes before deeming this version 
ready].

Let me know,
Thanks,
Jacob

I tested this "Release 2" version of the 26200 wrapper. We're very close.



The good:

- The crashes starting LHC tasks on 5.2, and crashes resuming RNA World tasks 
on 5.2, appear to be resolved. No more crashes. I suspect Release 1 had the 
stale tlb file.

The bad - *2* issues:

- The "File Version" of the exe is still incorrect, and is being written to 
stderr.txt. We need to fix this, so we can keep track of what version of the 
wrapper is being used at points in the log.

- The x86 version will need rebuilt too, with the fixes.



Once you get that "File Version" resolved, maybe consider doing another version 
bump to 26201, for reasons of sanity :) Then let me know when to retest it - 
I'm getting good at it.

My goal is to get RNA World to use a wrapper that's compatible with VirtualBox 
5.2.x, which is important because of compatibility with Windows 10 while 
running the project's super-long-running monster tasks.

Let me know when I can test a new VBoxWrapper, please!

Subject: [boinc_alpha] BOINC - October 2017 VirtualBox and VBoxWrapper updates

Team,

Oracle recently announced the following releases:
- Oracle VirtualBox v5.2.0 Build 118431
- Oracle VirtualBox v5.1.30 Build 118389

VBoxWrapper code was recently changed to support v5.2.x, but the "vbox52.tlb" 
file was from v5.2.0 Beta 3. Now that the final version has been released, 
could we please get it updated with the "VirtualBox.tlb" file from the v5.2.0 
Final SDK, located here:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.0/VirtualBoxSDK-5.2.0-118431.zip

Then, can we get an updated version of VBoxWrapper compiled, that uses it? I 
could try to test it when it is available, let me know. My main push for this 
is so that we can get a "5.2.x capable" version available for RNA World to 
quickly adopt, since some of their tasks take over 500 days to complete, and 
Windows 10 compatibility (with older VirtualBox versions) becomes an issue. Let 
me know when I can test it.

Regarding the version of VirtualBox that we include in the combined installers: 
It is my opinion that we should adopt the latest v5.1.x version, v5.1.30 as of 
right now. My reasoning is that v5.1.x is mature, and is only picking up 
bugfixes. Perhaps wait a month or two before adopting v5.2.x.

Thanks,
Jacob Klein
