out of memory, and 64-bit builds get strange crashes.
* Mon Apr 29 2019 Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@gmail.com>
- LTO builds still failing. Reset flag to nil.
- Changed the way that the spec file limits the 32-bit builds to 2 threads. boo#1133492.
If enough memory were allocated so that the full number of workers were allowed, the job would never be scheduled.

- The VirtualBox packages for both Tumbleweed and Leap 15.1 are now derived from the sources in Factory;
however, the underlying kernels are very different in that vboxvideo.ko is built-into the TW kernel,
thus the package did not try to build that module. The result is that Leap 15.1 guests have only 640x480
resolution (boo#1132439). These changes conditionally turn building of the kernel module back on. As TW
does not need the module, it is only built for Leap 15.1.
* Sun Apr 14 2019 Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@gmail.com>
- An instance of /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM being installed without SUID privilege
has been reported as boo#1132379. Unfortunately, the error message thrown by VB in this

been modified to check the permissions and pop up a warning describing the problem and
showing the command needed to fix the problem. File "vbox-suid-warning.diff" is added.

/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSharedCrOpenGL.so from package virtualbox to virtualbox-qt. With this change, package virtualbox no longer needs libX11.
- Version bump to 5.1.30 (released 2017-10-16 by Oracle)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
GUI: translation updates
GUI: Fixed double mouse cursor when using mouse integration without Guest Additions, actually a Qt 5.6 bug fixed with QT 5.6.3 (Mac OS X hosts only; bug #15610)
Solaris hosts: allow increasing MTU size for host-only adapter to 9706 bytes to support jumbo frames
Linux hosts: glibc 2.26 compile fix

* Tue Oct 03 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Make additional change specified in bsc#1060072. Moving VBoxSDL and VBoxSDL.so from package
virtualbox to virtualbox-qt removes an additional need to load the libqt* binaries on a
text-only installation running headless VMs.
* Mon Sep 25 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Make changes suggested in bsc#1060072
The specific changes are:
(1) Remove the test in vboxdrv.sh as the script tests for the wrong file. This is safe because
if the package is not installed, the script will not be there.
(2) Move VBoxDbg.so to package virtualbox-qt. With this change, packages libQt5Core, libQt5Gui
and libQt5Widgets are no longer needed with package virtualbox. As a result, a text-only
server no longer needs to load QT to support headless virtual machines.

- In kernel 4.13, wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t. File "vbox_fix_for_kernel_4.13.patch" patches the source to account for this change.
* Mon Jul 10 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix several problems with the startup scripts. The SysV form is no longer used for most packages as proper systemd
service files have been created. These fixes address bsc#1037291, #1043532, and #1045871.
- Increase reserved disk space from 4 to 5 GB. This change was suddested as a fix for the 32-bit failures.
* Fri Jun 30 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix missing global for 32-bit version with gcc7. (bsc#1046571).
Fix missing frame buffer cleanup - private communication from Oracle - adds file "fix_KMS_support.patch".
* Sun Jun 25 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix logic error in scripts to build kernel modules locally - see bnc#1042726.
Fix "requires" for net-tools-deprecated so that Leap 42.3 will build.
Fix missing /media for Leap 42.3.
Fix typo in above changes.
* Sun Jun 25 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Fix some typos in the various service files as noted in boo#1044931.
With these fixes, TW guests start correctly. In addition, the /sbin/vboxconfig (for hosts) and the
/sbin/vboxguestconfig (for guests) work correctly.
* Wed Jun 21 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Now that kernel:HEAD:standard has changed to version 4.12.0-rcX, the VB drivers need some changes for new API's.
File "vbox_fix_for_kernel_4.12.patch" is added.
The added installation of "net-tools-deprecated" broke builds for Leap 42.3. That change is now conditional on building for Factory.
* Sat Jun 10 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Add installation of package "net-tools-deprecated" as requested in boo#1027742.
* Thu Jun 08 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Revise warning screen concerning USB passthru - fixes bnc#1041137.
USB passthru opens a security hole, yet it is so valuable that many users want the feature, thus it is our default.
Previously, a user needed to edit a udev rule to disable passthru. The bad part was that an update of VB changed the
rule back to allow passthru without any notification. These changes modify the popup to allow the user to accept or decline
passthru. If the user declines, then the root password is requested and the udev rule is modified. As these modifications will be
lost with the next VB update, the inode of the udev rule is kept. If the user has previously declined and the inode has changed,
the popup will show the next time VB is started. File "fix_usb_rules.sh" is added.
* Sun May 21 2017 hpj@urpla.net
- add %dir /usr/share/licenses to new vnc package
* Wed May 17 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Made changes to build with gcc 7.x. This adds new file "vbox_fix_for_gcc7.patch".
Changed the building of VBoxVNC to remove the hack used earlier.
* Wed May 10 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Make a number of changes:
* Add VBoxVNC as a proper external pack rather than just make the so available (bnc #1037033). Thanks to Michal Nowak for most of this effort.
One hack was required to work around a bug in "VBoxManage extpack install" whereby the --accept-license option failed to work.
* Improve startup of VirtualBox through use of systemd service files:
a. Beginning with Oracle version 5.0.8, the command used to build the kernel modules outside of the RPM packaging
code changed; however, the openSUSE version did not implement the new method. That new code is now implemented.
b. In Tumbleweed, the SysV init scripts to systemd service files stopped working. Part of the new code also checks
to see if the kernel modules are loaded. If not, new script files are called to include the necessary packages
and build the necessary modules.
c. The hooks are in place to remove the sysv init files and do the complete conversion to systemd. This step will
be done at a later time.
* New files are "vboxconfig.sh", "vboxguestconfig.sh", "vboxdrv.service", and "vboxadd-service.service".
* New sub-packages virtualbox-guest-source and virtualbox-vnc are produced.
* Some typos in virtualbox.spec are fixed.
* Thu May 04 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Add libelf-devel to build. Fixes bnc #1037511.
Modified the startup files to build the kernel modules if they are missing. Files "vboxconfig.sh" and "vboxguestconfig" added.

- VirtualBox has always been started by systemd utilizing the old-style scripts in /etc/init.d.
These should be converted to the service files native to systemd. This issue has been forced
as a recent update to Tumbleweed broke the startup of VB for both TW hosts and guests. This
change starts the conversion to native systemd files. The original scripts are still used; however,
service files are used to start and stop the VB components. In a later change, all action will
be accomplished using systemd service files.
Two new files named "vboxdrv.service" and "vboxadd-service.service" are added.

* Sat Jan 14 2017 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- The printing of the warning about the insecurity in USB passthru had been lost. As most people are likely to want that feature,
the logic has been inverted. Now, the required udev commands to allow passthru are included. The first time that VB is started,
the user will get a screen that points to the bug entry discussing the problem and states what they should do to block the
insecure usage. In any case, that screen will only be printed once. File "virtualbox-60-vboxdrv.rules" has been added
These changes address the issues in bnc #1018340.
* Wed Dec 21 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net

- Revert "vbox_hdpi_support.patch. This patch may improve things for asn@cryptomilk.org, but it breaks other systems.
See https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/521520-VirtualBox-interface-scaling and bsc #1014694.
* Mon Dec 05 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- I now have the necessary preprocessor symbol to modify the source depending on whether the server is 1.19.0 or greater.
It is no longer necessary to detect the server version in the spec file, thus the solution is cleaner.
* Mon Dec 05 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Leap 42.2 still has server v. 1.18.3, thus the test failed. The test has been changed to look at only the 1.xx part of the version.
* Sun Dec 04 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Add patch file "Fix_for_server_1.19.patch" to support xorg-x11-server v. 1.19.0.
The spec file now interrogates the rpm for the server and conditionally applies the patch, thus both versions build OK.

- Requesting 14000 MB is too much. Reduce the request to 12000 MB.
* Thu Oct 13 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Some builds still run out of memory and fail. Increase to 14000 MB.
* Thu Oct 13 2016 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Builds keep running out of memory when building the web server part of the package.
To help the memory pressure, I have forced make to run with "-j2", rather than use
the number of processors. Such a change will slow the build, but will result in a
higher rate of success.

* Fri Nov 06 2015 Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net
- Add logic to virtualbox-wrapper.sh to test if /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules exists. If not, a screen stating
that passthru of USB devices is a security hole, and it refers the user to bnc#664520 for an explanation.
It also explains the process for enabling USB passthru if the user really wants it. When the user closes
the popup window, a dummy version of /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules is created, which prevents this
window from being displayed every time VirtualBox is started.
- Fixes boo#953018.

- Install and enable the vboxadd-service init script, to make
auto-mounting of shared folders and time synchronization work
- Install VBoxService to /usr/sbin/ instead of /usr/bin/ so that
vboxadd-service can find it, it cannot be run as user anyway
- Create the /media folder with appropriate permissions on
distributions higher than 13.1, it doesn't exist any more and the
one that VBoxService creates automatically cannot be accessed by
normal users
- Fixes boo#908669 and boo#936254
