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".

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
