emulators/virtualbox-ose{,-70,-71,-72,-legacy}: Improve port (non-functional)
- Replace ${PREFIX}/share/applications with ${DESKTOPDIR}.
- Replace "*" with . in COPYTREE_SHARE.
emulators/virtualbox-ose*: Add support of "Unattended Installation of Guest OS"
feature
Install files required by Unattended Installation of Guest OS feature.
These files were already prepared during the ports' build, so just add
them to the installation.
Details about this feature are here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/topics/create-vm.html#tk_create-vm-unattended-install
Reported by: xin3qu via IRC (#freebsd-vbox @ Libera.Chat)
emulators/virtualbox-ose*: Exclude from extract bundled binary files of kBuild
Thes is ~430-640 files, ~30-55MB total for different platforms.
We are using devel/kBuild for build VirtualBox ports.
devel/kBuild is a newer version than the one included in the VirtualBox
tarballs.
emulators/virtualbox-ose*-71: Update 7.1.14 => 7.1.16
Changelog:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-7.1#v16
emulators/virtualbox-ose{,-nox11}-71:
Remove the OGG, VORBIS, and VPX options - without libogg and libvorbis
in the system, the ports attempts to use the bundled versions, but
without libvpx, the build fails. Even when using libvpx, building the
bundled libvorbis library also fails.
These 3 libraries are not heavy dependencies, so we simply make them
mandatory even for emulators/virtualbox-ose-nox11-71.

emulators/virtualbox-ose*: Improve rc script
- Add sort VMs by name during auto start and reverse sort during stop -
with this user can control the order in which VMs are started and stopped.
- Increase default delay between start VMs from 0 to 1 second -
useful when automatically starting more than "2-3" VMs.
emulators/virtualbox-ose{,-kmod,-nox11}-71: Add new ports VirtualBox 7.1.8
Port based on patch from devel@stasyan.com.
The main work on porting was done by the author of the original patch.
The rest is a dozen various improvements and bug fixes that have been
made over the past few months in older versions: 7.0.x, 6.1.x, 5.2.x.
The requirements for 7.1.x are the same as for 7.0.x, but for now we'll
leave both versions in experimental/test mode.
The following ports also need to be created (they are not available for
version 7.0.x either):
- emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions-71;
- emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions-nox11-71.
www/phpvirtualbox-71 already in ports.
