Information for people packaging the Guest Additions for Linux distributions
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
We strongly recommend that people packaging the Guest Additions for Linux
|
|
distributions track the latest stable version rather than staying with a given
|
|
major release number for the life-time of the distribution. The major number
|
|
is more relevant for the host software (the actual VirtualBox application)
|
|
than for the Linux Additions, which are developed more continuously.
|
|
|
|
We sometimes have two stable versions at one time - one with more features and
|
|
a long-term stable version from the previous major release, which has less
|
|
features but a code base which has had longer to mature. While this is also
|
|
less relevant for the Additions, you can find the current long-term stable
|
|
release version number at
