Description Christopher Byrne 2008-01-06 07:17:26 UTC

This is ebuild request 1 of 4 for the VritualBox Guest Additions ebuild requests.

I have create ebuild, virtualbox-guest-modules-1.5.4. I propose it go under the category "app-emulation". This ebuild is for Linux GUESTS running under VirtualBox - it adds the Linux modules nessacary to communicate with the host. Thus, Gentoo guests no longer have to run the Guest Extensions ISO. They can now be handles with the usual portage tools, like "emerge" and "module-rebuild".

Succesfullyed test on a Windowa Vista Home Premium host.

Hi,
i reworked the submitted ebuild(s), i choose to merge kernels modules and userspace tools ( respectively	bug #204511 and bug #204513) under a sigle
ebuild called app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions[1], too keep things
simple, because of size and to better reflect the Innotek name conventions.
