2Rick Hodgin: You should contribute to Netlabs port of VBox, instead of contacting Oracle directly, I think.
Also note that we'll try to put our work in the official Oracle repository in the future.
In fact, ideally the installer should be a simple REXX script. You Unzip the package in some directory, and
run a REXX script. It should modify config.sys, startup.cmd and os2.ini. Also, it's possible to use WarpIN,
but I'd prefer the .ZIP file with a REXX script. unzip+REXX is a better installer for OS/2, in fact. Or, we need
both the WarpIN installer and a .ZIP package with a REXX script, for those who prefer it. I sometimes
need a manual install, so unzip is easier for me.
Though, note that VBox additions require kLIBC and libcx. So, because of this it should be ideally installed
with RPM, to handle dependencies, and avoid conflicts with different versions of the same DLL. Though, on
the other hand, YUM ports could be not installed in the guest. But then, each RPM in the repository is
duplicated by a zipped version of the same package. So, maybe it's better to create an RPM package, and
put it into the usual Netlabs repository. I could help you to create the RPM, if you wish.
So, we could create an RPM installer, plus a REXX script for those who wants to use the zipped versions
of additions.
PS: I plan to package the OS/2 port of VirtualBox as RPM too.
