Of course, meant vboxconfig.sh (not vboxcontrol.sh) :-)

Hi Jim,

This was download action (from bash history):

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jimklimov/vboxconfig_sh/master/vboxconfig.sh.patch

 Hello Predrag,




 Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it with 5.0rc1 - I only tested across 
a few latest 4.3.* releases during the patch's evolution.

 OTOH, you used an older version (published in March) which may fail on recent 
OI Hipster which changed the PKG FMRI numbering scheme - this is what my more 
recent fixes amend.

 As for "patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line" - I didn't see that one 
yet, did you download it from Github (as "raw" text 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jimklimov/vboxconfig_sh/master/vboxconfig.sh.patch),
 or from that e-mail post? Perhaps the mailing-list archival and/or download 
process was faulty?

 Finally, regarding matching of the filename - in the recent version of the 
patch, it now references "subdirname/vboxconfig.sh" in both original and new 
versions so as to not confuse the patch programs.

 I also added the copy-pasteable package-patching procedure to README in the 
GitHub project to facilitate installations.

Hi Jim,

I was curious, so tried to test on *installed* tree (5.0.0_RC1):

$ pfexec bash
$ cd /opt/VirtualBox
$ ls -la vboxconfig.sh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 0 2  45K Jun  1 20:15 vboxconfig.sh*

$ gpatch -p1 < vboxconfig.sh.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 10
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

 (To): openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org, omnios-discuss 

� (Cc): tho...@espix.net



Hello all,



Earlier this month I posted to the VirtualBox lists my patch for vboxconfig.sh 
to better support
installation on non-Sun/Oracle Solaris-like hosts, tested on OI (Hipster) and 
OmniOS (bloody).
It may support SXCE as well (has the code, but was not practically tested 
lately) since there are
aspects where SXCE was like Solaris 10 (SVR4 packaging) and yet more advanced 
than that
(CrossBow, etc.).



Unfortunately, so far the post fell through the cracks... so for possible 
integration into packages
provided by the illumos distributions (e.g. to help the work done by Thomas 
Gouverneur to turn
SVR releases into IPS, or to support proper GPL-source builds of VirtualBox), 
I'd like to repost
these fixes here too. Feel free to build on them, to make VB updates 
hiccup-less ;)



In my practice, it sufficed to "pkgtrans" the Oracle VB package into a 
directory, patch the script
"vboxconfig.sh" provided in the installation image, update the "pkgmap" with 
new values for
size and checksum of the changed file, (run "pkgrm" to remove an obsoleted 
installation) and
"pkgadd" to install the package from the directory.

Date: 2015-03-09 15:09:25 GMT



Hello all,



I submit a patch which should simplify installation of modern VirtualBox on some
non-Oracle derivate distributions of Solaris which are known to host VirtualBox
just fine. Most of the patch deals with "proper" detection of major and minor OS
version numbers on those distributions. Also there is now a touchable filename
to enforce installation of USB filters and corresponding UNIX group accounts,
as a workaround for further distros not detected as supported by even new code.



I submit this patch under the terms of MIT license.



This was last tested with VirtualBox 4.3.24 and OpenIndiana Hipster and OmniOS
Bloody, all updated today to the most current states available.



Note this was not yet tested in practice with SXCE although snippets were 
developed
that should work there. I don't expect there are many of those installations 
left beside my
closet, but those are all pleased with old VBox versions for now... ain't 
broke, you know ;)




Hope this helps,
// Jim Klimov

Hello all,

Earlier in March I posted a patch that fixes installation of VirtualBox on 
non-Oracle Solaris hosts (e.g. OpenIndiana and OmniOS). Lest it be lost in the 
list archives, I moved the patch (now licensed as GPLv2 to match VirtualBox 
licensing) and an accompanying README to GitHub: 
https://github.com/jimklimov/vboxconfig_sh

Feel free to add the changes into the distributions (if you maintain 
packages/repositories), so such hackery won't be needed ;)

Thanks,
