Description

Oracle VM VirtualBox is a hosted hypervisor for x86 virtualisation. Supported guests include BSD, Haiku, Linux, OS/2, ReactOS, Solaris and Windows.

emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy is for exceptional legacy (5.2.x) cases.

<https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-5.2> emphasises that 5.2.x is no longer supported by Oracle.

Guest Additions are available:

*: bump PORTREVISION for the textproc/libxml2 2.15 shared library change (#848)

`textproc/libxml2` 2.15 changed SONAME from `libxml2.so.2` to `libxml2.so.16` **and** removed ELF symbol versioning entirely — the new library defines no `LIBXML2_*` versions at all. Consumers built against the old library were never rebuilt, so they still record a dependency on `libxml2.so.2` plus version requirements nothing can satisfy, and fail at load time: ``` ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2: version LIBXML2_2.4.30 required by /usr/local/lib/libevdocument3.so.4 not defined ``` ### Scope `Tools/scripts/bump_revision.pl -f -l textproc/libxml2` — **436 Makefiles**: 323 revisions incremented, 113 gained a `PORTREVISION` line. The diff touches nothing but `PORTREVISION` lines (verified: `git diff -U0` shows no other changed line), and spot-checked ports still …
