I've been criticized a lot because I choose poorly the name for guest additions.
Right now the packages are like this:
virtualbox-addtitions - contains the iso with guest additions for linux/windows/etc and is installed on host virtualbox-guest-additions - contains guest additions only for an arch linux system as guest. virtualbo-guest-modules - modules only for an arch linux system as guest.
Now that virtualbox 4.1 is released I need help choosing this names.
I'd suggest these names: virtualbox-additions -> virtualbox-guest-additions (That's how upstream calls it officially.) virtualbox-guest-additions -> virtualbox-arch-additions or virtualbox-arch-guest-additions (This way everybody knows that it's Arch related. Btw., I still doubt that this package is really necessary.) virtualbox-guest-modules -> virtualbox-arch-modules or virtualbox-arch-guest-modules (Seems to be Arch related, too. But what is it for? Isn't this included in virtualbox-additions and virtualbox-arch-guest-additions (the old names) anyway?) I guess these names are the most unambiguous names. But, please, don't make a virtualbox group. Heiko
