- Update VirtualBox OSE to 6.1.18
- Old VirtualBox OSE 5.2.44 preserved as "-legacy" versions of the ports (repocopied) - Add back extra patch removed in r528258, actually required to build DEBUG kmod - Correctly define WITH_DEBUG when enabling the DEBUG option, so binaries are not stripped Please note that this new version supports only amd64 CPUs. If you need to use older hardware please install the legacy ports. Note that moving VM snapshots across major updates is unsupported, it's strongly suggested to properly shutdown VMs before upgrading, please check UPDATING for further details. This update is the result of work from many people, and thanks to all who gave feedback and tested things. Patch based on work from: Mario Lobo <lobo@bsd.com.br> and jkim.

+
+ emulators/virtualbox-ose has been updated to 6.1.18. This new
+ version only works on amd64 hardware.
+
+ Previous version 5.x of the virtualbox ports have been preserved
+ as emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy and similarly named ports for
+ the other parts.
+
+ If you can't run the latest version or wish to stay with the old
+ version, please install the legacy ports.
+
+ Also the additions at present build successfully only for amd64.
+ If you need i386 additions you can fallback to the old legacy
+ ones.
+
+ NOTE: There is no support for moving saved running machine states
+ across major updates of virtualbox. It is recommended to properly
+ shutdown all virtual machines before upgrading. Otherwise the saved
+ state can simply be discarded after the upgrade, if it's not
+ important to preserve it.
+
+ It should also be possible to downgrade to the legacy ports and
+ shutdown the machine properly from the saved state and then upgrade
+ back again.
