AW: Re: [oe] [meta-oe][PATCH] vboxguestdrivers: Provide target kernel version

linux-kernel-base is deprecated in oe-core/master now. I would suggest to use the new ways of using it via oe.kernel.get_version_file

Good to know, I will provide a separate patch for master then. But for the wrynose branch this would be the way to go right?

The kernel version might be empty during parsing (e.g. when using
linux-dummy), therefore `or ''` is needed.
