VirtualBox v5.2.44

Hello there,

I have a vagrant env that will only work with virtualbox 5.2.44.
But I can not figure out how to download a specific version of virtualbox ? can you please help me?
In other words, can I specifiy a version to download with pacman ? Else how could I achieve this?

Re: VirtualBox v5.2.44

You can't just grab an old build from pacman. First, old builds aren't kept around; second, it wouldn't work with a current system anyway.

There are some upstream binary packages in the AUR, but there's a warning that 5.2 won't work on linux kernels 5.8 and newer, so you'd have to use an older kernel from the AUR as well. Not a good situation.
