You will be able to build your virtualbox modules by running $ dkms install vboxhost/4.1.18 or you can let dkms rc script compile/install/load your modules with $ rc.d start dkms
To be clear
You can still use virtualbox-modules to have your module pre-compiled for the arch kernel. If you have a custom kernel or want compile yourself your modules your can use virtualbox-sources (as before).
My current practice is to use my own simple wrapper script to call vboxbuild $KERNEL to rebuild for all my currently installed kernels. Will this be possible with dkms install? Come to think of this, would dkms then be a hard dep for virtualbox? If no to Q1, then could I just save a copy of the currently working vboxbuild and continue to use that? I used to have my own script (its probably backed up somewhere) for doing this, but vboxbuild was just easier to use.
