[Request] Virtualbox bin 2.0

gimpel · 2008-09-04 12:46:45

hi,

I would really appreciate if somebody could create a PKGBUILD
for the new virtualbox version 2.0 released today.

(Not OSE)

Please don't forget that you can always grab the PKGBUILD from ABS or the AUR and modify it accordingly (change version number, correct md5sums, etc).

Anyway, here's a PKGBUILD that worked for me (I would, however, recommend you to replace it with the official package once it's updated):

(You'll need to download virtualbox_bin first and substitute its PKGBUILD with the one below)

Thanks for the PKGBUILD

worked for me, after commenting out the md5sums and manually renaming the downloaded VirtualBox*.run Installer

nice work
