[CentOS-virt] Is anyone already working on RPMs for VirtualBox OSE?
I have some RPMs I've made of innotek's VirtualBox OSE (Open Source Edition) for both CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 (i386). These RPMs include the dkms support for the kernel driver, etc. I have a couple of subtle things to fix in the RPMs (like setting the permissions on udev devices, etc.) but they're already usable. Before I spend more time on it, and submit it for inclusion in the "testing" repo, I thought I'd ask here if someone was already working on doing this. thanks! Greg Bailey gbailey at lxpro.com

At any rate, I think it would be very useful to provide VirtualBox in the CentOS repositories. -- Daniel
