hi.
there is this package in AUR
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14621 called
virtualbox_bin_additions
but it is severely broken
- it uses sudo to mount an iso on a loopback device
- it does not create a vboxadd user needed for the vboxadd service
and there already are 2 packages in [community] for additions
virtualbox-additions and virtualbox-ose-additions (with
virtualbox-ose-additions-modules)
so i think it could better be deleted.
virtualbox-additions, virtualbox-ose-additions and
virtualbox-ose-additions-modules can be used _only_ with virtualbox-ose.
as i said in the comments, virtualbox_bin provides the iso for
additional tools and can be used from virtualbox interface,
Device->Install additional tools and then can be mounted inside of vm,
along with ./VBoxsomething.run which compiles all the modules and all
the stuff that needs to be added.
because there is an viable alternative and the build is using sudo i'll
deleting right now.
