Is there a plan for implementing this for Linux guests? I am willing to
implement some of it if there is any documentation for what is required.
Well, "required" would imply that there's a formal specification. Which
we don't have yet. But it'd be great if linux/solaris/... guests would
also provide as much information as possible. The keys should be
identical unless it's some information which doesn't make sense on Windows.
Firstly I can see that the two keys /VirtualBox/GuestAdd/Version and
/VirtualBox/GuestAdd/Revision could be implemented for all VBoxService versions
by putting the information from VBOX_VERSION_STRING and VBoxSVNRev() [Which all
other tools use) instead of the current registry key check for windows only.
Sounds good.
In VBoxServiceVMInfo.cpp
#include <VBox/version.h>
Line 176 add
VboxServiceWriteProp(g_VMInfoGuestPropSvcClientID, "GuestAdd/Revision",
VBOX_VERSION_STRING);
VboxServiceWriteProp(g_VMInfoGuestPropSvcClientID, "GuestAdd/Version",
VBoxSVNRev());
