I've simplified the (experimental) script to load the VirtualBox BETA software into a local IPS repository :
The "host" software is now simply pkg:/virtualbox/host/vbox and the "guest" software that can be installed on a minimal guest (text only) is pkg:/virtualbox/guest/vboxguest but for the guest the OpenGL and GNOME additions are separately packaged.
This seems to work more or less on 11.3 and 11.4 (but do not use in "production" please). The host software is now also "packaged" but the main interest is probably in the guest packages (in order to easily update the vbox guest additions from the repository).
The "host" software is now simply pkg:/virtualbox/host/vbox and the "guest" software that can be installed on a minimal guest (text only) is pkg:/virtualbox/guest/vboxguest but for the guest the OpenGL and GNOME additions are separately packaged.
