Ram,
Thanks for your answer.
1. Yes
2. Yes, considering that you need to run an 'svcadm restart
virtualbox-run-once' service that gets installed with the first
installation. Then, when an upgrade is done, this service is
responsible to upgrade drivers and/or services at its next start. (so
either manually, or, indeed after a reboot).
Does that make sense?
So it requires manual running of a service to make the upgrade work? Is
it possible to automate this somehow as part of the IPS upgrade
procedure itself?

Ram.

Hi,
Thanks for the work and the heads up, but before I look into this, a
couple of questions:
1. Does the installation work without requiring reboots (drivers are
loaded and active after installation)?
2. Does upgrading VirtualBox versions work without requiring reboots
(old drivers are unloaded, removed and new ones are installed and
loaded) ?
Regards,
Ram.

Hi!
I'm writing today because I've been asked some time ago to write a
converter from SVR to IPS packages for VirtualBox to allow the
installation of VirtualBox and of the extension pack through IPS. I
wonder now if this work can be useful upstream too?!
I published the scripts there:https://github.com/tgouverneur/VBox-SVR2IPS
And an example repository can be found
there:http://mdma.igh.cnrs.fr/vbox/en/catalog.shtml?show_all_versions=1&action=Refresh
The repository has been built with the VirtualBox.org's packages converted
using the scripts present inside the GitHub repository listed below.
NOTE: This repo has only been tested with Solaris 11.1.
Any idea with who I could start the discussion to see what would those package
be missing to allow a possible upstream adoption, so we can all have IPS
upstream packages of VirtualBox in the future?
Thanks,
