VirtualBox tcz seems to be broken

[mofosyne]

It appears that virturalbox-ose-modules-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz keeps on showing an md5sum error. Even when i externally install it separately, virtualbox-ose-tcz doesn't want to install.

I think its broken. Can you guys fix it?

Also is it possible to get it on SCM as well?

hi mofosyne,

no, it´s not broken,
the virturalbox-ose-modules-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz is not in the repository, that´s the problem.
there is still the old 3.0.3-package.

you need to compile it on your own...
this is very easy, described under
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,12839.msg71468.html?PHPSESSID=fn92igu8155q6bpfnkg6l2huq3#msg71468
and automated with the help of the script, that you will find in this thread.

btw,
you have to be logged in for downloading the script.

I'm am having problems getting the script to run. I'll try and poke around more, but when can I expect to see that repo updated? I'm still very new to tinycore, and is still having trouble grasping the concept (moving from ubuntu)

Hi mofosyne

Unless you specify what errors you are receiving, no one can help you.

Well how do i describe it? basically running the script shows a "file not found" error. Chmodding with +x doesn't work

Also when is the missing extension going to be added? I might just wait if somebody plans to fix the repo soon, as its not mandatory for me to get it working today.

Also when is the missing extension going to be added?

When someone interested in Virtualbox builds one and submits it

[mofosyne]

lol then how do you submit it?

Hi mofosyne
It's listed at the end of the Wiki extension building page:
