VirtualBox Guest Additions provide closer integration between host and
guest, and improve the performance of guest systems.
This FreeBSD provided package can be installed in FreeBSD guest machines.
Additions are not intended for use on Host machines.
===> The following configuration options are available for virtualbox-ose-additions-6.1.50.1500068_4:
DBUS=on: D-Bus IPC system support
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
X11=on: X11 (graphics) support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed.
To enable and start the required services:
# sysrc vboxguest_enable="YES"
# sysrc vboxservice_enable="YES"
To start the services, restart the system.
In some situations, a panic will occur when the kernel module loads.
Having no more than one virtual CPU might mitigate the issue.
For features such as window scaling and clipboard sharing, membership of
the wheel group is required. With username "jerry" as an example:
# pw groupmod wheel -m jerry
The settings dialogue for FreeBSD guests encourages use of the VMSVGA
graphics controller. Whilst this might suit installations of FreeBSD
without a desktop environment (a common use case), it is not appropriate
where Guest Additions are installed.
Where Guest Additions are installed:
1. prefer VBoxSVGA
2. do not enable 3D acceleration (doing so will invisibly
lose the preference for VBoxSVGA)
You may ignore the yellow alert that encourages use of VMSVGA.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions: Assign default value to pointer
In the virtualbox virtual filesystem code we ship as a patch some
code in an else block is commented out. This produces a code path
in which a pointer variable is dereferenced in an unassigned state,
causing random crashes.
Lacking a better fix, give a default value of NULL to the pointer,
which at least avoids the random pointer dereference issue.

emulators/virtualbox-ose: Update to 6.1.26
This new version has a regression in the pulseaudio host audio
driver. If enabled any VMs configured to use it fails to start.
Since no fix has been found the PULSEAUDIO option is forcibly
disabled. If you have any VM configured to use pulseaudio for audio
input/output, please reconfigure them to use a different driver.
Upstream ticket: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20484
Other changes:
- Remove old patches that don't apply, the audio system has been
reworked upstream and the behavior of these patches is included in
the new code
- Add upgrading pkg-message note about the PULSEAUDIO option issue
