The version currently in RPM Fusion's updates-testing is 2.1.4, while
the latest closed-source version is 2.2.2. Is it necessary to do
anything to convert the contents of one's ~/.VirtualBox directory to
work with the lower-numbered version? (As I recall, the update to 2.2.0
required a file format conversion.) Or can one just remove the
closed-source package, install the open-source one, and have everything
just work?
Also, for people who need the closed-source features such as guest
access to USB devices, is it possible for the closed-source version to
be in the nonfree repo?
