Description Maxxim 2017-06-13 07:45:06 UTC
Description:
Open Source VirtualBox Client with Remote Management

Homepage:
http://remotebox.knobgoblin.org.uk/

I wrote ebuilds for

- RemoteBox 2.1 (supporting VirtualBox 5.0.x)
- RemoteBox 2.3 (supporting VirtualBox 5.1.x)

from scratch. I tried to craft them as clean as possible and also included a small bugfix for version 2.1. Slotting is used to reflect the version of VirtualBox required on the server-side.

Tested successfully on Gentoo with profile 'default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma'.

This would make bug #548206 obsolete.

Note that I deliberately removed the dependency 'net-misc/freerdp' since RemoteBox does not require it to function, in fact users may configure *any* external RDP client for the 'Guest Display' feature in RemoteBox' preferences.

By the way: if there's currently no maintainer for this package, I'll gladly do the job.

I've been a Gentoo user since 2003 and it has given me a lot over the year, I'll be glad to give something back.

Hey,

Check out https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers !

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this. I familiarized myself with the topic and filed a maintainership request bug: bug 621834.

Hi

Could you please provide a build log for this package?

Another remark about your ebuild: please remove all || die in src_install. do functions on their own.
