Last maintainer of virtualbox binary modules has resigned. For the last releases of linux-lts[1], virtualbox-modules-lts[2] was not rebuilt, resulting in bug reports[3][4] with nobody interested to fix.
Is there a volunteer to take care of them and handle rebuilds ? Nobody raised his hand so far.
Until recently we share rebuild - I do a rebuild when I bump virtualbox (only major versions) - Kernel maintainers do a rebuild when they bump (all version) As confirmed in bug report[2], a simple fix is to use virtualbox dkms modules, but Dave asked to wait next pacman release to manage rebuild during pacman upgrade (with hooks) rather than dkms.service at boot. Now, I think it's better to drop them and have built at boot time instead of broken packages in the repo. [1] https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log/trunk?h=packages/li...
