DetailsDescription:
The virtualbox-archlinux-additions package currently has a hard dependency on X (libxmu and xorg-xrandr). This makes it unusable for a server VM. However, tools such as vbox-service and mount.vboxsf are still relevant for servers. I would suggest to either: - put libxmu and xorg-xrandr in optdepends - split the package, putting X-dependent stuff in a new package, e.g., virtualbox-archlinux-additions-x11 Additional info: * package version: 4.1.6-4 |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: I don't really want to split it more and is fine like it is now.
