Bug#493491: [Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#493491: [virtualbox-ose] make it
I'm currently using the non-ose version of VirtualBox directly from sun. This is mainly because I really like mouse integration feature of the VirtualBox guest additions. I had a look at the license file and in §2 section 2 I read, that I/you would be allowed to redistribute an unmodified version of the ISO. This would certainly not qualify for inclusion in main, but should non-free not the right place for a package just containing this ISO or an installer for it? could you please explain yourself a little bit better? What exactly do you miss in Debian? I take it you know the virtualbox-ose-guest* packages, don't you?

What exactly do you miss in Debian? I take it you know the virtualbox-ose-guest* packages, don't you? These provide the utilities for Linux (or to be more precise Debian) as guest. So far, so good. But I use Linux as Host and Windows (XP) as Guest. With the non-ose version I can install the vbox guest additions from a virtual CD and get the associated services. The contents of this CD should also be available for the ose version. Matthias -- So long and thanks for all the fish! signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil
