[Request] Virtualbox bin 2.0

Question

hi,
I would really appreciate if somebody could create a PKGBUILD
for the new virtualbox version 2.0 released today.

Answer 1

Please don't forget that you can always grab the PKGBUILD from ABS or the AUR and modify it accordingly (change version number, correct md5sums, etc).
Anyway, here's a PKGBUILD that worked for me (I would, however, recommend you to replace it with the official package once it's updated):
(You'll need to download virtualbox_bin first and substitute its PKGBUILD with the one below)
