- Description:
- VirtualBox Guest Additions provide closer integration between host and
guest, and improve the performance of guest systems.
Non-legacy additions i.e. emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions are
recommended for most use cases.
Where legacy (5.2.x) is a requirement, this FreeBSD-provided package
can be installed in the FreeBSD guest machine.
<https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-5.2> emphasises that
5.2.x is no longer supported by Oracle.
Additions are not intended for use on Host machines.

- pkg-message:
- For install:
- VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed.
To enable the required services:
# sysrc vboxguest_enable="YES"
# sysrc vboxservice_enable="YES"
To start the services, restart the system.
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 may be inappropriate
where legacy Guest Additions are installed.

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.

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.

The conflict checks compare the patterns first against the package
names without version (as reported by "pkg query "%n"), then - if
there was no match - agsinst the full package names including the
version (as reported by "pkg query "%n-%v").

- Update VirtualBox OSE to 6.1.18
- Old VirtualBox OSE 5.2.44 preserved as "-legacy" versions of the
ports (repocopied)
- Add back extra patch removed in r528258, actually required to
build DEBUG kmod
- Correctly define WITH_DEBUG when enabling the DEBUG option, so
binaries are not stripped
Please note that this new version supports only amd64 CPUs. If you need
to use older hardware please install the legacy ports.
Note that moving VM snapshots across major updates is unsupported, it's
strongly suggested to properly shutdown VMs before upgrading, please
check UPDATING for further details.
