VirtualBox 3.1.2 has been committed to the Ports tree.

+ +

Several changes to the port have been performed with this + update which include:

+ +
    +
  • Port has been renamed to virtualbox-ose to reflect that we + are now using the OSE version.
    • + +
  • A seperate port for the kernel modules has been created + — virtualbox-ose-kmod.
    • + +
  • A seperate port for guest additions for &os; guests has + been created — virtualbox-ose-additions.
    • + +
  • Proper &os; support for PulseAudio has been added.
    • + +
  • Procfs is not required anymore because vbox uses sysctl(3) + now.
    • + +
  • Nox@'s &os; host networking patches have been added. They + are now also in the upstream vbox SVN (modulo vbox variable + naming style adjustments).
    • + +
  • Allow direct tap networking again (for users that need the + best network performance and/or need more complex network + setups, like when they want to use routing instead of bridging + to e.g. protect guests from messing with the lan's arp tables; + a tap + routing + proxy arp example is in the above + freebsd-emulation@ posting.)
    • + +
  • Enable vbox' shared mac feature when using bridged mode on + a wifi interface, together with the virtualbox-ose-kmod + change this should fix bridged mode for wifi users.
    • + +
  • We would like to say thanks to all the people who helped us + by reporting bugs and submitting fixes. We also thank the + VirtualBox developers for their help with the ongoing effort + to port VirtualBox to &os;

BSDCan, a BSD conference held in Ottawa, Canada, has quickly + established itself as the technical conference for people + working on and with 4.4BSD based operating systems and related + projects. The organizers have found a fantastic formula that + appeals to a wide range of people from extreme novices to + advanced developers.

+ +

BSDCan 2010 will be held on 13-14 May 2010 at University of + Ottawa, and will be preceded by two days of Tutorials on 11-12 + May 2010.

+ +

There will be related events (of a social nature, for the most + part) on the day before and after the conference.

+ +

Please check the conference web site for more information.

AsiaBSDCon is a conference for users and developers on BSD + based systems. AsiaBSDCon is a technical conference and aims + to collect the best technical papers and presentations + available to ensure that the latest developments in our open + source community are shared with the widest possible audience. + The conference is for anyone developing, deploying and using + systems based on FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD, Darwin + and MacOS X.

+ +

The next conference will be held at Tokyo University of + Science, Tokyo, Japan, on 11th to 14th March, 2010.

We are again able to build bootable i386/amd64 kernel. Nathan + Whitehorn commited a fix to &os; which enabled LLVM/clang to + work mostly fine on PowerPC. There is some preliminary testing + of LLVM/clang on ARM and MIPS being done. We have some ideas + about sparc64 support which are currently being investigated. + You are welcome to contact us if you want to help.

+ +

Since the last report a lot has happened mostly in the area of + C++, clang is currently able to build working groff, gperf and + devd, ie. all of the C++ apps we have in base. Unfortunatelly, + it still cannot build any of the C++ libraries — two of + them are missing builtins and libstdc++ is broken for other + reasons.

+ +

Not much happened in the clangbsd branch as we cannot upgrade + upgrade the clang/llvm there because we are blocked by a bug + that requires using newer assembler than we can ship. This + might be solved by either fixing this (short term) or using + llvm-mc instead of gnu as for assembling (longer term).
