This introduces VirtualBox version 5.1.6 along with a few refactored
stuff, notably:
* Kernel modules and user space applications are now separate
derivations.
* If config.pulseaudio doesn't exist in nixpkgs config, the default is
now to build with PulseAudio modules.
* A new updater to keep VirtualBox up to date.
All subtests in nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix succeed on my machine and
VirtualBox was reported to be working by @DamienCassou (although with
unrelated audio problems for another fix/branch) and @calbrecht.

In 2942815968, the dependencies for Qt 5
were passed using buildEnv with all the development binaries, headers
and libs. Unfortunately, the build output references that environment
which also increases the size of the runtime closure.
The upstream makefile assumes a common Qt 5 library path, but that's not
the case within Nix, because we have separate paths for the Qt 5
modules.
We now patch the makefile to recognize PATH_QT5_X11_EXTRAS_{LIB,INC} so
that we can pass in the relevant paths from Qt5X11Extras.
In summary, the closure size goes down to 525559600 bytes (501 MB)
instead of 863035544 bytes (823 MB) with vbox-qt5-env.

Putting the kernel modules into the same output path as the main
VirtualBox derivation causes all of VirtualBox to be rebuilt on every
single kernel update.
The build process of VirtualBox already outputs the kernel module source
along with the generated files for the configuration of the main
VirtualBox package. We put this into a different output called "modsrc"
which we re-use from linuxPackages.virtualbox, which is now only
containing the resulting kernel modules without the main user space
implementation.
This not only has the advantage of decluttering the Nix expression for
the user space portions but also gets rid of the need to nuke references
and the need to patch out "depmod -a".

We now no longer need to update VirtualBox manually, which has a few
advantages. Along with making it just easier to update this also makes
the update procedure way less error-prone, for example if people forget
to bump the extension pack revision or to update the guest additions.

Just a small updater which should fetch the latest sha256sums from the
upstream site and check whether the current version is the latest one.
The output is in a JSON file in the same directory, which then will be
used by the Nix expressions to fetch the upstream files.

Furthermore, it renames pythonPackages.dbus to pythonPackages.dbus-
python as that's the name upstream uses.
There is a small rebuild but I couldn't figure out the actual cause.
The following parameters are now available:
* hardeningDisable
To disable specific hardening flags
* hardeningEnable
To enable specific hardening flags
Only the cc-wrapper supports this right now, but these may be reused by
other wrappers, builders or setup hooks.
cc-wrapper supports the following flags:
* fortify
* stackprotector
* pie (disabled by default)
* pic
* strictoverflow
* format
* relro

However, after testing it against 5.0.12, the same errors occur there as
well, so it is likely related to our VM tests.
This makes pythonPackages.sqlalchemy the most up to date revision (it
was called sqlalchemy_1_0 before), and maintains the various “legacy”
versions available as pythonPackages.sqlalchemyX for X in {7,8,9}.
All derivations that required `sqlalchemy_1_0` now require `sqlalchemy`
while those that required `sqlalchemy` now require `sqlalchemy7`.
The derivations are not changed, only the attribute names they are
bound to.
This will probably be mandatory soon, and is a step in the right
direction. Removes the deprecated meta.version, and move some meta
sections to the end of the file where I should have put them in
the first place.

I've added an alias for multipath_tools to make sure that we don't break
existing configurations referencing the old name.

Excerpt from upstream release notes:
This release also contains the security fixes for XSA-137, XSA-138, XSA-141 to XSA-153.
XSA-139 and XSA-140 only apply to QEMU Upstream and are fixed from versions 2.3.1 and 2.4.0 of QEMU.
The qemu portion of XSA-135 has also been applied to qemu-traditional.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
Also prepare to support multiple stage1 flavors.
The 'host' flavor would be preferred to reuse systemd components instead
of downloading/unpacking/processing a CoreOS PXE image.
* bump stage1 base image to v794.1.0 according to upstream release
* make use of BUILDDIR environment variable to control output path
* make use of the configure option for the stage1 image path and the stage1 base image path
* fix homepage URL
* add myself to the list of maintianers
This fixes the error message: GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory'
GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other
applications.
It caused old saved settings to be forgotten, and new settings to be lost
when virt-manager is closed.
VirtualBox had support for DBUS even in version 4.x, but it appears that
nothing in our VM test triggered it to load, thus I didn't notice the
runtime error:
rtldrNativeLoad: dlopen('libdbus-1.so.3', RTLD_NOW | RTLD_LOCAL) failed:
libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
The upstream commits I think are responsible for this to come to surface
are _probably_ (did I ever mention that I love SVN? *cough*) one of
these:

This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc.
- Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*.
- Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used.
Hopefully everything still works as before.
Regression introduced in 7ffb1f3bde.
Also added a small notice so that this hopefully won't happen with
future updates.

Second attempt to resolve this issue. Copies stage1 image into expected
place manually. This has been improved in rkt master where there is a
configure option for specifying the location of this file. Can update
when next stable rkt is released.
The rkt build process requires a stage1 image. By default it will try
and download one with wget from coreos.com during the build. This change
explicitly downloads the image using `fetchurl`, verifying checksum,
then passes that to the build using appropriate configure flag.
Using $storepath/sbin is deprecated according to commit 98cedb3, so
let's avoid putting anything in .../sbin for the guest additions.
This is a continuation of the initial commit done by @ctheune at
1fb1360, which unfortunately broke VM tests and only changed the path of
the mount.vboxsf helper.
With this commit, the VM test is fixed and I've also verified on my
machine that it is indeed working again.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
This places mount.vboxsf in $out/bin instead of sbin, because as
reported in #9063 it seems that the the mount tools are no longer
looking into $storepath/sbin/mount.$what but into
$storepath/bin/mount.$what instead.
However, I haven't found any commit which changes this behavior and
couldn't reproduce it. Also, merging this will break the VirtualBox
tests, but I'm merging it anyway in an effort to remove $storepath/sbin
from virtualboxGuestAdditions entirely.
Tested against virtualbox NixOS VM test, which of course failed as said
before.
Changes:
- RemoteBox now requires VirtualBox 5.0.x
- Added guest support for USB 3.0
- Added OS icons for Windows 10, OS/2 1.x, Yosemite, El Capitan
- Added command line options for automatic login. See manual
- Added option to set the virtual VGA card of a guest to either
VirtualBox VGA or VMware SVGA-II
- Allow snapshots to be taken while the guest is paused
- Added support for adding USB storage controller to a guest
- Added support for adding transient shared folders
- Added support for setting IPv6 Port Forwarding rules on NAT networks
- Added option to convert disk images to VDI when importing an
appliance
- Changed the way guest details are displayed and added an option
to show extended (slower) or reduced (faster) guest details
- Added support for selecting built-in presets for the RDP clients.
These are currently FreeRDP (New Syntax), FreeRDP (Old Syntax),
Rdesktop, Windows Remote Desktop Client
- Added support for selecting the paravirtualization interface for
a guest
- Added keyboard toolbutton for quick access to common keyboard
sequences. The full keyboard menu is still available
- Fixed a problem with trailing slashes in a URL preventing the
remote display to a guest from opening.
- Fixed a problem with UTF8 strings affecting the listing of storage
attached to controllers
- Fixed an issue where stuck guests couldn't be stopped from the GUI
- Various GUI tweaks
Xen required a few changes in order to be usable:
* Include xenfs module in initrd as loading it in the activation
script was failing.
* Include /etc/default/xendomains, which is needed by
xen-domains service.
* Create /var/log/xen and /var/lib/xen directories in
the xen-store service, which are needed by the xl command.
The directories could be created by any other script as long as
they are guaranteed to exist before xl is called.
* Fix a reference to /bin/ls in the xendomains script.
Within fractions* of a second, the beautifully crafted history and
branching mechanisms of SVN found out the exact revision which caused
this to be visible in version 5.x but not in version 4.x:
https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset?old_path=%2Fvbox%2Ftrunk&old=30933&new_path=%2Fvbox%2Ftrunk&new=30934
Also note the very short URL and the informative changeset message which
shows you exactly what was the issue, I think.
Be warned however, it may contain traces of history amnesia, revision
epilepsy and other related diseases.
As for the issue itself: This was very much broken in 4.x as well, but
it didn't show an error message in the UI. The PulseAudio library is
loaded at runtime and it's not able to do that unless it's in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Now, we're doing the same as with the ALSA libraries: We're hardcoding
the path to the shared object file in patchPhase.
Thanks to @devhell for reporting and testing.

floating point arithmetic.

This is espacially cruicial when it comes to Nix 1.9, where we even have
a more restrictive /nix/store. In any event, VirtualBox in hardenend
mode doesn't have to check the /nix/store path, because it's read-only
on NixOS systems. So this check would not introduce more security but
more hurdles, thus I'm removing it (of course _only_ for /nix/store).
