Powerful x86 virtualization (Personal Use Binaries Edition)
*4)aur/virtualbox_bin-2 2.2.4-1 (24)*

features or buggier) releases for Virtualbox ?*
*5) aur/virtualbox_bin-3_0 3.0.12-1 (18)*

*What about that ? --> Like 3 and 4, but different PKGBUILD for version

Bumping the thread, since we do need some cleaning up, IMHO.
i've deleted unstable build some time ago but the other:
virtualbox_bin-3_0 should stay at 3.0.x version but who did updated
didn't understand this thing.
virtualbox_bin should follow the latest version of virtualbox
virtualbox_bin_beta should follow only beta but same as first, the
current maintainer didn't get it.
virtualbox-sun is basically _bin and changes should merge to _bin and
then we can delete it.
i could delete the older ones if the modules doesn't compile anymore but
i think we should let them there and try to fix the builds above. The
one that are out of date should be updated or somebody should claim them.
