VirtualBox is popular, easy to use virtual-machine software. The
purpose of this change is to ship the VirtualBox guest-drivers and
-tools by default in the Fedora workstation product.


== Detailed Description ==
VirtualBox runs on Windows. MacOS and Linux and is used by many users
to try it Linux for the first time. As such it is important for Fedora
to work well in VirtualBox virtual-machines. Like other
virtual-machines VirtualBox virtual-machines can offer an enhanced
user-experience when some VirtualBox specific guest-drivers and
guest-tools are installed. This change is about adding the
guest-drivers to the Fedora kernel package, packaging the
userspace-tools (VirtualBox Guest Additions) and adding the VirtualBox
Guest Additions package to the default package list for the
Workstation product.


== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
- The VirtualBox guest drivers have been merged into linux-next and
will be in 4.16, the kernel-release with which F28 will ship. The
separate vboxsf kernel-driver has been submitted upstream and is
awaiting review upstream. If the vboxsf driver does not get accepted
upstream in time we can ship with VirtualBox guest integration without
shared-folder support.
- Package VirtualBox Guest Additions userspace parts (Review Request)
- Add VirtualBox Guest Additions package to the default package list
for the Workstation product
