virtualbox-ose 4.0 needs packaging

Asked by Dommo on 2010-12-29

Oracle has released virtualbox under GPLv2 and has removed proprietary/binary blobs and has released those as a plug-in. can you please package and distribute the new virtualbox in the normal distro?

here's the link to the GPL v2 Source code http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.0/VirtualBox-4.0.0.tar.bz2

1. There are no Natty packages there
2. The virtualbox package is in contrib section, so it's not 100% open-source

I hope it'll be added to ppa:debfx/virtualbox.
You can contact Felix Geyer (https://launchpad.net/~debfx), who can upload it there.

This script adds the same Oracle's repository :)
