1. vboxgtk need vboxapi(python binding) to run. virtualbox-ose installed vboxpython.so but did not install vboxapi. i have to recompile the whole virtualbox-ose to get these stuff.

the size of vbox sdk is not very big. please considerate to package it into virtualbox-ose or into another package. like virtualbox-ose-sdk.

2. and is it possible to add some package like virtualbox-ose-src, contains VirtualBox-3.1.6_OSE/out/linux.x86/release/bin/src, so that people who compiled the kernel themself can still can install virtualbox-ose directly. just need recompile the kernel modules using virtualbox-ose-src.

or put this dir into virtualbox-ose
This task depends upon

maybe i should get rid of virtualbox-modules and use the src in the virtualbox-ose and for modules compilation we should do like the official packages /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup or something like that?

i'd like to change to that way. it's easier to build kernel modules, especially for the users who didn't use official kernel. and the official vbox package is like that.

anyway, please at least provide a src and sdk package, cause compile the whole vbox-ose take too much time.

ok, i added support for vboxapi and building sources. i'll upload it in community-testing. let me know how is working and if we can improve it.

note: i think vboxgtk is kinda broken when using virtualbox 3.1.6.
