Hello Oracle Devs, Soon you'll get UDP tunnel patch, but let's discuss some thing: I wanna leverage the GNS3 community for Alpha-testing of VBox 4.1 -- the only way to do this, is by having some critical functionality in there. UDP tunnel is such a killer feature for GNS3 users. (it has use cases beyond GNS3, when for example, you wanna connect a VM behind firewall to another VM on the internet, and have all protocols available)
What we need: 1. stable VMM -- currently I found one blocker bug in it. seem my other email. 2. mostly working python API, VBoxManage and GUI 3. Windows binary build (multi-arch), Linux 64bit + Linux 32bit multi-distro packages. 3 Builds total. UDP patched. 4. If UDP patch is of good quality, we'd like it to be included into v4.1 release as a standard feature. (enabled in Oracle's default binary builds for all platforms). I will make best effort to test and stabilize it. What we don't need: 1. Guest Additions (not necessary) 2. Docs (can be incomplete or lacking) 3. All the extra nice features (can be disabled during compile time) I fully understand that release timing of GNS3 project is not 100% aligned with Oracle's timeline for v4.1 release. Still we wanna try. What we give in return: 1. Very early Alpha-testing of VirtualBox 4.1 -- all the way until final v4.1 release (whenever it will be released) 2. Increased user base 3. Free marketing The question is: Can you provide us with binary Windows build with UDP patches that we send, while the patch is still in BETA ? (without committing it to SVN tree) Unfortunately we cannot build VBox on Windows hosts. So we need help. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
