May we please have VirtualBox-OSE 3.2.10 be made available?

 if you want a virtualbox to test try the ppa version just add to software sources , and reload
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/debfx/virtualbox/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/debfx/virtualbox/ubuntu maverick main

GREG T., thank you for responding to my question. While this was a constructive suggestion, 3.2.10 is not available in the PPA source space. This question is still outstanding.

 i tried the ppa and it did nothing i could see by looking at version
 but this download page might help
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick non-free"; wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

Should install the new one if you have it installed, or you can run:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox-3.2

And get it installed.

You should log a bug stating that the new version fixes a LOT and the version will be moved to the official repos.

After reviewing the information provided by both actionparsnip & GREG T. it seems apparent a few choices exist:

1) install the pre-made PUEL .deb from Oracle's website
2) compile 3.2.10 OSE from source (optionally making a .deb available via PPA for others)
3) create a bug noting how it fixes many outstanding problems and should be moved into the official repos

This question is answered. Thank you for your help.
