The tarball for this version is missing the file VRDEVideoIn.h, which is added
through the missing_files_4.2.8.patch and extracted from Subversion, revision
44528.

Fortunately this time the upstream package was packaged correctly and we no
longer need the patch to remove the reference to the fa_IR locale.
In addition we need to add lvm2 to dependencies because VirtualBox now requires
libdevmapper with its default configuration. We could disable it but in order to
gain DM support I think it's necessary and at least could avoid some confusion
from users if it's not working "out of the box" :-)
This is a bugfix release, upstream changes are:
* VMM: don't inject stale VT-x events to prevent crashes after VM reset
* VMM: workaround for buggy BIOSes which enable MONITOR only for certain CPUs
* GUI: fixed trimming of anti-aliased text in details-view element headers
* GUI: fixed create-settings-file-alias functionality on Mac hosts
* GUI: fixed take-guest-screenshot functionality on Windows hosts
* GUI: several minor fixes, including palette fixes
* GUI: fixed Windows 2012 OS type
* GUI: allow to terminate the VM even if VBoxSVC crashed
* API: fixed cancelling of snapshots, previously this could lead to
inconsistent VM configs
* API: fixed identifying disk images by UUID
* 3D Support: several fixes
* VRDP: fixed occasional crash with external authentication
* VGA: fix for double scan text modes
* USB: fixed invalid pending request count at the time of service of DEVICE
POWER requests (Windows hosts only)
* USB keyboard: Korean keyboard workaround
* Storage: fixed hang with QCOW images and asynchronous I/O enabled
* Storage: fixed hang with newer VHD images
* Storage: actually write the non-rotational flag to the VM settings (4.2.0
regression)
* Virtio-net: fixed the problem with network statistics counters in Session
Information dialog (GUI)
* Metrics: introduced network rate and disk usage metrics
* Metrics: fixed a crash under certain conditions on Solaris hosts
* BIOS: fix for El Torito
* Shared Folders: if the host folder of a shared folder mapping does not exist,
keep it active but mark it as invalid to prevent inconsistent
saved states
* VBoxManage: fixed converting disks from raw images
* VBoxManage: show snapshot description in the VM or snapshot information
* VBoxManage: make implicit opening of media consistent in all places dealing
with media
* VBoxManage: the iSCSI initiator name was not stored in the settings file when
doing storageattach
* VBoxManage: metrics collect now properly handles 'CPU/MHz' and
'Net/*/LinkSpeed' metrics
* VBoxManage: changing the image UUID or parent UUID as part of storageattach
works now in all safe cases
* VBoxManage: introduced storageattach --medium additions as a shortcut to
mount the additions image
* OVF: fixed importing OVF files cerated by recent VMware products
* Linux hosts / Bridged Networking: fixed the problem with leaking connections
in conntrack
* Linux Additions: added support for ConsoleKit sessions in the vminfo service
of VBoxService
* Linux Additions: don't crash during remount under certain conditions
* Linux/Solaris Additions: fixed guest memory metrics collection
* Solaris hosts: added a dependency to ensure that the user directories are
reachable when starting VBox services
* Windows host installer: integrated user-contributed translations, thanks to
all contributors!
* Windows Additions: fixed auto-logon installation for Windows 8
* Windows Additions: don't fail if the shared folders host service is not
available
* Windows Additions: fixed Guest Additions startup on Windows 2000 guests
* Windows Additions: auto-resize fixes for Windows 8 guests

The extension pack is needed in order to have USB 2.0, RDP and PXE boot support
and is _not_ part of the free version, so please read their conditions before
using it:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox_PUEL
Further information and details about the extension pack is available here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing
I'm wimping out here and use requireFile to ask the user to fetch the extension
pack manually, simply because I'm not a lawyer. I've seen other distributions
that fetch the extension packs directly from upstream, but I'm not sure if that
is according to Oracle's PUEL.

This should fix a few issues with charon and VMs crashing starting at an amount
of at least 4 running VMs in parallel.

This time, we need to patch, because the upstream tarball got messed up
somehow[TM]. You can find some details about the issue here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-dev/2012-October/005408.html
Our patch is removing the language file, as it seems that even in SVN trunk it
isn't available anymore. So, let's hope we can remove this patch in the next
upstream release.

with Windows 8 guests)
* VMM: respect RAM preallocation while restoring saved state.

First of all, modules won't install when there is no "make modules" prior to it,
so we're doing this now with a new function called forEachModule, so we can
avoid duplication as much as possible.
In addition this sets $sourcedir to the current directory of the configurePhase,
so we're able to find the source tree later on, after several chdir()s.
The scripts/depmod.sh checks whether the path in $DEPMOD is executable and only
executes it if that's the case. So, by setting DEPMOD to "/do_not_use_depmod"
the destination path doesn't exist _and_ thus isn't executable aswell.
The for loop didn't find $curdir, because it was set _after_ the directory has
been changed. The variable is now called $srcroot and is set before the
installPhase is changing directories.
Don't rely on VirtualBox's in-tree build scripts to set include paths correctly
and use the official way of the Linux kernel to build the modules. That way we
don't need to make ugly symlinks in the kernel tree or heavily patch VirtualBox.
Previous commit reverted Xen back to 4.0.3 because xend from 4.1.* and newer
hangs for unknown reasons.
The new "xl" toolstack from 4.1.* and unstable works, yet PCI passthrough is not
supported by xl in 4.1.* and is broken in the unstable.
With this patch I was able to passthrough ATI Radeon HD 6950 without 3D
acceleration, though, to both Linux and Windows guests. Which is the best
archived result with Xen PCI passthrough on NixOS after trying out all possible
Xen versions.
Same VGA card works fine if passed through into a guest with KVM (acceleration,
GPGPU, everything works). I should have tried KVM from the start.
