To get this discussion back on the right track I'm going to build the binary modules for virtualbox. Sébastien and myself already discussed what will be done so relatively soon those binary modules will be back.
My plan is now to provide the virtualbox modules for -arch -lts and -zen. I think -grsec will be the exception since there are probably protections in there that will block some modules to even build.
And when everyone is happy again we probaly should proceed to provide dkms for all out-of-tree modules alongside the binary modules. That would benefit everyone and offer the greatest amount of choice. People using custom kernels can use dkms and have everything working that way and people using one of the kernels available in the repo's can choose if they want dkms or binary. Everyone wins.
Please don't add modules for -zen to the repos. They create a maintenance burden I don't want to support. Let -zen users use DKMS; they never had any prebuilt modules anyway.
