IMPORTANT! virtualbox-4.3.0 is now officially in portage. The beta and rc ebuilds have been removed from poly-c overlay!

Hi,

virtualbox-4.3.0_beta2 is available. To have it through portage simply do the following:
Code:
layman -a poly-c
and make sure to unmask it:
Code:
grep virtualbox /var/lib/layman/poly-c/profiles/package.mask >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
.

Please keep in mind that these releases are not ready for production machines.

virtualbox-4.3.0 has been officially released and is already in portage. So I removed the beta/rc ebuilds from poly-c overlay.

I've upgraded to 4.3.0.
I run Win 7 in it.
When I start Windows 7 I get an error immediately about something missing.
I downgraded to 4.2.18 and things run fine again.
I've upgraded before w/o any problem.
Gerard.

Not sure if it's appropriate to post this in this thread, but I'm not sure if this is a bug or a configuration issue on my side. Probably the latter. My compilation of the xf86-video-virtualbox-4.3.0 drivers is failing with this error:

Code:

No idea what that missing header file belongs to. If you feel this might be a bug, let me know, and I'll open a bug in Bugzilla.

platojones can you please try with MAKEOPTS="-j1"?

P.S.: I've tried to reproduce your problem in my ~x86 Gentoo VM but the package compiled/installed successfully each time I re-emerged it.

Yes, I'll try it and report back.

I knew it was me...I had that installed on a gentoo host system...not a gentoo virtual machine. I'm surprised the previous version actually installed. Sorry to bother you with that.

Heh... no problem. I'm glad you figured that out :)

I don't know if this is related but .. I just did an emerge --sync and now Portage wants to downgrade virtualbox-bin-4.2.16 to 4.1.26. I had to make a patched version of virtualbox-modules-4.2.16 to get them to compile properly. I'd prefer to not have to go through that exercise with 4.1.26. Both virtualbox-bin-4.2.16 and virtualbox-modules-4.2.16 are in my package.accept_keywords file. Why am I being forced to downgrade? It seems screwy.

Any suggestions?

Not sure what the relation is to VirtualBox 4.3.0, but okay. 4.2.16 has been removed from tree in favor of 4.2.18. If your patched version was to enable support for Linux 3.11+, that fix is already present in 4.2.18. If you only have 4.2.16 in your package.accept_keywords, then I would expect portage to offer 4.1.26 as the only alternative.
