That patch will not be included in the vbox update. We try to stay as close to the official code as possible and instead send all patches upstream to get them included. So if that patch is stable it should be send to vbox-dev@ and i'm sure aeichner will be glad to have a look at it. I will talk to Fredrik if we can help in any way. -- Bernhard Fröhlich http://www.bluelife.at/ > 2009/9/7 Bernhard Fröhlich <decke@bluelife.at> > >> On Mon, September 7, 2009 7:48 pm, Olivier Smedts wrote: >> > 2009/9/7 Bernhard Fröhlich <decke@bluelife.at>: >> >> On Mon, September 7, 2009 7:41 am, Danny Braniss wrote: >> >>> >> >>> [...] >> >>>> > > > >> >>>> > > ok, so some time has passed, but virtualbox-2.2.51r20457.tar.gz >> is >> >>>> no >> >>>> > > longer available, there is a >> >>>> > > >> ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/virtualbox-2.2.51r20457.tar.bz2 >> >>>> > > then again in ports/emulatores/virtualbox the version is >> >>>> 3.0.51r22226, >> >>>> > > >> >>>> > > can someone please explain? >> >>> >> >>> hi, the above was my question, which was totally ignored, not nice. >> >>> I will try and refrase it: >> >>> the call for testing is for a version (2.2.51r20457) which is not >> >>> available, while >> >>> the ports is 3.0.51r22226, so while I managed to compile it, it >> >>> complains >> >>> that COM >> >>> is not running, all this under 8BETA-3, both under 32 and 64 bit. >> >> >> >> I'll try to be nice but it is still unclear to me what you want.
