Long ago I was advised how to obtain sourcecode and extpack in order to build a working VBox for a bleeding-edge linux kernel : in brief
checkout the open source from https://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk download the matching extpack from Testbuilds "Development snapshots" This has always worked infallibly , most recently for kernel 6.5.3 (enormous kudos to you maintainers for keeping so up to date). However - I would like to track the revision number of each build I make, and I am baffled to find that there is no single, consistent, revision number between the source I get in step 1 and the extpack's announced revision number. They are not even close. E.g. - yesterday I checked out the source and the last line of output stated Checked out revision 100800 I then go to development snapshots and find the current extpack is revision number 158812 Is there even such a thing as "current revision number of VirtualBox"? And, if so, how do I find out what it is? Of course, I don't mind if the two numbers are off by a very small amount because of the time between my step 1 and step 2, but clearly 158812 - 100800 is not a small amount.
