virtualbox-ose new upstream version 2.1.4

[Michele Mordenti]

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

From virtualbox site:
"This is a snapshot of the OSE sources at the time of the stable 2.1.2 release"

Could someone make the new .deb for jaunty?
Thanks in advance.

From the changelog of VirtualBox 2.1.2:
- Linux Additions: fixed a driver issue preventing X11 from compiling keymaps (bug #2793 and #2905)
- Additions: added experimental support for X.Org Server 1.6 RC on Linux guests

The first one is a regression in 2.1.0. It makes it impossible to use a keyboard layout other than English when the Linux additions are installed.

So I think it's worth updating the Jaunty version to 2.1.2

I'm in the process of merging it.

VirtualBox 2.1.4 was released on 2009-02-16

Has some usefull bug fixes in Linux hosts and Linux additions.

It has been uploaded to Debian unstable and I've tried merging it.
It fails to build however.

I'm attaching the build log.

When I've merged 2.0.2, it was the same (or similar), which the stock Debian package has been built successfully (i386 (on amd64)).

I'll try if 2.0.4 from unstable builds in a Jaunty pbuilder successfully, and if so, investigate what in the Ubuntu diff is causing this.

Any hints welcome, of course.

When compiling VirtualBox without VBOX_WITH_64_BITS_GUESTS, RTGCPTR has the type uint32_t.
So AssertCompileSize(RTGCPTR, 8) fails, as sizeof(RTGCPTR)==4. This seems to be a bug in VirtualBox.
The Debian package builds because it doesn't unset VBOX_WITH_64_BITS_GUESTS on 32bit systems and by default VBOX_WITH_64_BITS_GUESTS is set on all archs.
So I recommend removing the VBOX_WITH_64_BITS_GUESTS code from debian/rules.
