From: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-December/012747.html I proposed (descriptions are case-sensitive): virtualbox-additions -> virtualbox-guest-additions (consistent with upstream and history) desc: "The VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO/CD image" virtualbox-guest-additions -> virtualbox-additions-linux ('guest' not important; shall be implied by description) desc: "Additions for Linux guests (userspace tools)" virtualbox-guest-modules -> virtualbox-modules-linux (as above) desc: "Additions for Linux guests (kernel modules)" I still stand by that scheme, except: The 'additions' and 'linux' may swap places, and 'linux' may be substituted for 'archlinux'. As for why I think it is not utterly important to have 'arch' anywhere: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2010-December/012751.html So, an alternative (revised) proposal: virtualbox-additions -> virtualbox-guest-additions desc: "The official all-in-one VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO/CD image" virtualbox-guest-additions -> virtualbox-archlinux-additions desc: "Additions only for Arch Linux guests (userspace tools)" virtualbox-guest-modules -> virtualbox-archlinux-modules desc: "Additions only for Arch Linux guests (kernel modules)" -- GPG/PGP ID: 8AADBB10
