Oooh shiny :)
Some comments about the attached ebuilds: - they are based on the 2.0.6 ebuilds. 2.1.4 has many small improvements, so it would be better to start with those - dosym /opt/VirtualBox/VBox.sh /usr/bin/vboxwebsrv <-- you reintroduce a bug apart from that saying "copying the old ebuilds works" would have done it too :)

If you have not noticed, you are in the bug tracker, but not in the list of stable programs
hi, i committed yesterday (2009-04-09) the following ebuilds on jokeys overlay[1]: * app-emulation/virtualbox-bin * app-emulation/virtualbox-ose * app-emulation/virtualbox-modules * app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-additions i'm working to update all the rest: *virtualbox-guest-additions * xf86-*-virtualbox A couple of notes on virtualbox-ose: -- To build this release updated versions of dev-util/kbuild (0.1.5-r1) and net-libs/gsoap (2.7.12-r1) are needed. So i create a snapshot for kBuild with an updated revision 0.1.5 (r2274) this is mandatory to build virtualbox and the only available tarball is the 0.1.5 (r2259), the updated gsoap is needed to build correctly the virtualbox webservice [vboxwebservice], with the old 2.7.9f release this was not possible.

I created an updated snapshots of the current sources and updated the xf86-video-virtualbox ebuild on overlay, the updated tarball is on my personal web space.

kbuild updated. virtualbox-modules and virtualbox-ose committed, I'll see that I can get the rest into the tree too.
Yey, all in the tree. Let's see what I broke this time ;)
