[Nix-dev] virtualbox VBoxService/modules

[Sander van der Burg - EWI]

I don't know what this module is doing different then the instructions on the Wiki. Is it written to fix a bug? or is it written to to make things more convenient? 

The VirtualBox service, for instance, is started when KDE boots and when the VirtualBox guest additions are in environment.kdePackages . The only useful application I can think of right now is that a seperate NixOS module could make configuring the VirtualBox guest additions a little easier, e.g. a option that says services.virtualBoxGuestAdditions = true; and automatically sets the desired properties of a machine.

Could David clarify his intentions a bit?

Which virtualbox module are you talking about?
Your code looks like beeing a NixOS module without options.
However I could'nt find an existing module.
Can you point me to the source?

I'd add an enable option and add it to NixOS.

box is used by many people here.
