From the Haiku website I am instructed that VirtualBox Guest Additions can be installed through HaikuDepot, however, I can’t find it in my own Haiku system.
I am aware that repositories have to be refreshed before searching for packages, but it is still no avail to find the package.
So do I miss something or the instruction in Haiku website is outdated?
You are using 64 bit Haiku, right?

No the 32bit version of Haiku is just stuck on that old version, 64bit has the newer version.

? means untested. Test it, report back, and somebody will enable it.
