[aur-general] virtualbox additions package naming
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. -- Ionuț

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-additions_iso ? (sure this one is difficult to name, but the description you wrote is very good, it's clear)
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. virtualbox-archlinux_guest-additions & virtualbox-archlinux_guest-modules ?
But what I would change absolutely is the pkgdesc: -VirtualBox user-space tools for Linux guests +VirtualBox user-space tools for Arch Linux guests -VirtualBox kernel modules for Linux guests +VirtualBox kernel modules for Arch Linux guests (since these packages are specifically made *for* arch linux) my 2 cents, if of any help.
