We are, obviously, lagging on _both_ sides -- and the "not thinking" is mut= ual. Most people interested in -- and capable of -- upgrading one side, aren't u= sing the other, and must rely on others for testing their changes. This leads to delays... Delays so high, people lose interest, and Oracle manages to make several releases in between -- obsoleting the original work. That the work is happe= ning in little GitHub repos is not helping either :( This ticket is old, and has 90+ comments and lots of attachments -- our pro= blem is not lack of interest or expertise, it is organizational. I'd like to expand my proposal (from comment #88) with this plan: 1. Leave the current virtualbox-* ports be (or upgrade them to the latest 5= .x). 2. Repo-copy each virtualbox-foo to the ...foo6. 3. Disconnect the new virtualbox-ose-additions6 (guest) from the new virtualbox-ose6 (host) by: a) giving the guest its own files/ (for patches) and distinfo; b) moving the guest-only patches from the host's files/ into the guest's; c) enumerate the few -- if any -- patches necessary to both sides as EXTRAPATCHES in the guest -- or even just copy them over. 4. Assign the sides to different maintainers. If no one objects to these steps in principle -- and no one volunteers to d= o it -- I'll perform the copying/moving myself. I can also take up maintainershi= p of the new virtualbox-ose-additions6, if there is no better candidate (my own usage is limited to a FreeBSD-11.x/i386 PAE guest inside a Windows 10 deskt= op). Based on one of the many attachments here, I can also upgrade the new hosti= ng virtualbox-ose6 port (once), but I will not be able to test it beyond "it compiles". --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
