G'day all,
About 6 months ago, the FreeBSD port of VirtualBox was upgraded from
version 5.0.26 to 5.1.4. The new version didn't work with USB devices
whereas the old one did. I raised PR
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212845 at the time.
Since then, the port has followed the releases of VirtualBox up to
5.1.14 as of last week (thanks, jkim). However, the same USB problem has
existed for all that time.
I'm having a go at trying to fix it. But I know almost nothing about the
VirtualBox source code. So, I'd like some help please. Does anybody here
have any experience with this. Or any clues as to where I should start
looking.
At the moment I'm just trying to do diffs between the old and new
versions, but it's a fairly daunting task. I'm also going to try
building versions 5.0.32 and 5.1.0 (which never had FreeBSD ports) to
see whether the breakage was in between them (I presume that it was).
Thanks for any help,
Graham
