Today the new virtualbox was released and it looks very promising. A new ebuild would be great :) Reproducible: Always

how about renaming / modifying old ebuilds, testing them and reporting results here ? is bugzilla the right place for that ?
I copied the 1.4.0-r1 ebuild of virtualbox-bin to my local overlay and renamed it to 1.5.0 - works out of the box (the same has to be done with virtualbox-modules-1.4.0 --> virtualbox-modules-1.5.0).
Created an attachment (id=129973) [details] virtualbox-1.5.0.ebuild Renaming the ebuild is enough for virtualbox-additions and virtualbox-modules, here is one for virtualbox (tarball name has changed, point to 1.4.0 patches in src_unpack)

I just successfully installed a virtual machine, runs great (better than some proprietary virtualization solutions I tried). Seamless Windows are interesting, although it just means the background is getting transparent, so you don't really have "windows" on your desktop (especially not in your task bar), but I guess I just expected too much :) I know it's not even 48h since the release, so this is still kinda zero-day, but I guess that ebuild from comment #5 could be put into into portage after being checked by someone with a little more insight than me ;)
Bumped in cvs now
