Overview

Request 677792 superseded

This submission includes a version update to VB 6.0.4, which includes many CVE fixes (bsc#1122212),
conversion of vboxwebsrv to a systemd service (bsc#1116050), and changes requested by the Security Group.

- Add changes requested by Security - new file "security_fixes.patch"
File UserManual.pdf is resent to clear error in build.

- Part of the API changes for kernel 5.0 are not fixed upstream. Add file "fixes_for_5.0" back in.

- Version bump to 6.0.4 (released January 28 2019 by Oracle)
Files "fixes_for_5.0" and "fixes_for_gcc9" are deleted - the code was fixed upstream.
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
Virtualization core: support Shanghai/Zhaoxin CPUs.
User interface: handle command line arguments to VirtualBox correctly (bugs #18206 and #18197)
User interface: improvements to machine manager window, virtual optical disk creator, storage selector window and log viewer window
User interface: various small fixes and improvements
Audio: implemented time scheduling for the AC'97 device emulation to keep audio and video in sync
Graphics: basic support for VMSVGA graphics device in virtual machines using EFI
Network: fix occasional NATNet crashes (bug #13899)
Network: worked around problems in certain PCnet drivers on old operating systems
Serial: fixed connecting to pseudo terminals on POSIX hosts (6.0.0 regression; bug #18319)
Linux hosts and guests: fix for building kernel modules against Linux 5.0. Thank you Kyle Laker

- Converted vboxwebsrv to a systemd service. Previously, this was started through init.d. bsc#1116050
Files "vboxweb-service.service" and "vboxweb-service.sh" are added.
File "vbox-vboxweb-init-script.diff" is removed.
File "fixes_for_4.20.patch" is removed - the code was fixed upstream.
File "fix_lib_search.patch" is added to fix the build of VBox0GL.
File "fixes_for_5.0.patch" is added to compensate for API changes in kernel 5.0.
File "virtualbox-system-x.patch" is removed.
File "fixes_for_Leap15.1.patch" is added to fix build errors on Leap 15.1.
- Version bump to 6.0.2 (released January 15 2019 by Oracle)

+BuildRequires: libXcomposite1

Wait a second, first vncserver0, now Xcomposite1? Did I miss something? Why are we buildrequiring binary libraries again?

I have no recollection of why that BuildRequires was added. Clearly, it is not needed and the updated spec file has been committed.
