In the [community] repo there are the following packages in addition to the package virtualbox 4.0.0-2:
virtualbox-additions 4.0.0-1 (any) virtualbox-guest-additions 4.0.0-2 (i686 and x86_64) virtualbox-guest-modules 4.0.0-2 (i686 and x86_64)
In ABS there's only virtualbox-additions.
What is what package? And is virtualbox-additions a duplicate of virtualbox-guest-additions? If yes, it would be nice, if this could be removed from [community] without moving it to AUR.
virtualbox-additions is the iso to install guest additions inside the virtual machine (win or any linux), virtualbox-guest-additions is to install the additions inside an Arch guest.
why not call the former virtualbox-additions-image or something? a name like that is miles clearer, imho.

historical reasons and i didn't bothered changing. I admit that now virtualbox-additions 4.0.0-1 doesn't have a good description but that was fixed in trunk. the name of the package doesn't really matter. Descriptions are important in this case. -- Ionuț
