@drankinatty, those are test builds which I don't want to support because of their impact on the stability.

If you want to experiment with those builds you can use the package virtualbox-ext-oracle-5-test-build, but don't expect it to be up to date, the build number already changed to 135314.

Here is the current PKGBUILD for Oracle Testcase build for Linux 5.4

It will build fine after you build and install the virtualbox-bin-5 current building for the Oracle Testcase as well

Current testcase will support the Linux 5.4 kernel:

Along with the testcase for for:

Now with computed $pkgver...

Ah, I'll have to see what there is new :) 5.2.30 is out now, I updated virtualbox-bin-5, and rebuilt this with mods to this PKGBUILD. 5.2.30 supports the new Linux 5.1 kernel.

@drankinatty, that's not enough, there is more :)

pkgver=5.2.28 sha256sums=('376e07cbf2ff2844c95c800346c8e4697d7bc671ae0e21e46153b2e7b4ccc1d6')

are the only changes needed.

I have packaged 'virtualbox-bin-5' with 5.2.26 to correspond to this package. 5.2.26 supports the 5.0 kernel and will be supported through 2020.
