Hello,

Can you merge virtualbox_bin into virtualbox-bin ?

The reason are those requested by josephgbr in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9753

<quote> The reason I'm asking this is that every time I update my packages with "yaourt -Syua", the package "virtualbox-ext-oracle" is listed first than this package ('-' come first than '_') and I always have to reinstall again after virtualbox_bin in order to work.

Thanks in advance. </quote>

That reason is a bit ridiculous... Anyway, I renamed the package. "virtualbox-bin" seems to be a better name.

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but along with moving votes and comments, how about moving notify lists of the old package to the new one, along with maybe a package comment in the old package mentioning that the old package has been renamed to new one (not manually by the user but automatically by the AUR software, before deleting the old one? Regards. Keshav

* Moving comment notifications sounds like a good idea. * Not sure about the automatic comment on package deletion. Sending notifications on various events is a controversial issue, although I personally think that it might make sense here. I usually always add a comment before deleting a package to make sure users on the notification list are aware of the package being removed. * This should be discussed on aur-dev, not on aur-general.
