One of the offered solutions to frequent recompilation when using Oracle VirtualBox Extensions is:

Use module from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/71127 (unsafe) if you'd like to avoid recompilation.

However, it seems that pull request was never merged and got closed since the author doesn't use VirtualBox anymore.

Can the approach still be used without patching NixOS, or should we reconsidering the inclusion of this link on the page?

Return to "VirtualBox" page.
