= Proposed Self Contained Change: VirtualBox Guest Integration = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/VirtualBox_Guest_Integration Change owner(s): * Hans de Goede <hdegoede AT redhat DOT com> VirtualBox is popular, easy to use virtual-machine software. The purpose of this change is to ship the VirtualBox guest-drivers and -tools by default in the Fedora workstation product. == Detailed Description == VirtualBox runs on Windows. MacOS and Linux and is used by many users to try it Linux for the first time. As such it is important for Fedora to work well in VirtualBox virtual-machines. Like other virtual-machines VirtualBox virtual-machines can offer an enhanced user-experience when some VirtualBox specific guest-drivers and guest-tools are installed. This change is about adding the guest-drivers to the Fedora kernel package, packaging the userspace-tools (VirtualBox Guest Additions) and adding the VirtualBox Guest Additions package to the default package list for the Workstation product. == Scope == * Proposal owners: - The VirtualBox guest drivers have been merged into linux-next and will be in 4.16, the kernel-release with which F28 will ship. The separate vboxsf kernel-driver has been submitted upstream and is awaiting review upstream. If the vboxsf driver does not get accepted upstream in time we can ship with VirtualBox guest integration without shared-folder support. - Package VirtualBox Guest Additions userspace parts (Review Request) - Add VirtualBox Guest Additions package to the default package list for the Workstation product * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/6880 * List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
