[PATCH 00/12] vbox: remove support for vbox 3.x and older.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

This series removes support for legacy VirtualBox versions (3.x and
older) that did not have upstream support for a while and won't even
work on any relatively recent distro. The idea for doing this was
first mentioned here [1] and this makes the driver code cleaner as
the APIs for those old versions were quite different from v4.0+ and
required abstractions to handle the differences.

Please note that the first patch in the series is sent to ML as a
compressed attachment because it deletes VirtualBox SDK header files
for those old verions which are large and the patch would not pass ML
message size limit.

Regards,
Dawid
