version 2009.12.16.

Wed Apr 21 14:00:00 2010 dimstarAATTopensuse.org

* Lots of improvements to the new DnD code.

* This will be the last release with support for Linux
kernels < 2.6.9.
- fix compatibiliy update script to redirect stderr to /dev/null
(in case the script is not found, do not scare the user)

Tue Jul 21 14:00:00 2009 prusnakAATTsuse.cz
- added || : to modprobe -r and umount calls in vmtoolsd [bnc#523342]

Fri Jun 19 14:00:00 2009 dominique-obsAATTleuenberger.net
- Updated to 2009.06.18

* Mostly a bug fix release.

* vmhgfs now is able to use vsock as a transport (although
backend support for HGFS over vsock is not yet released in
VMware products).
- Removed patch open-vm-tools-wiperPosix.patch. An alternative
solution was integrated upstream
- Dropped patch open-vm-tools-rpath.patch: merged upstream

Sat May 23 14:00:00 2009 dominique-obsAATTleuenberger.net
- Updated to 2009.05.22

* Mostly a cleanup and bug fix release.

* Fix a build issue where a symlink attack could cause the
open-vm-tools build to overwrite data (by placing a symlink in
/tmp).

* Second (and last?) batch of changes to clean up duplicate files
in the source tree, including Solaris and FreeBSD kernel
modules andother module-specific shared files.

* Plugins now are properly built using plugins_LTLIBRARIES so
that \"-rpath\" doesn\'t need to be used (this would cause an
RPATH entry to be added to the final binary, which some tools
didn\'t like).

* open-vm-tools now properly detects PAM and enables PAM support
in the code.
- Removed -rpath.patch. Variation of it integrated upstream
- Added patch to consume (-wiperPosix.patch) the result of fgets
- BuildRequires pam-devel
- The pam miss-naming on x86_64 has been fixed upstream
- Add a new -rpath patch. Not everything is solved upstream.
- Delete arch dependent files from /usr/share (not yet needed)

Sat Apr 25 14:00:00 2009 dominique.leuenbergerAATTtmf-group.com
- Upgrade to snapshot 2009.04.23

* Implemented copy & paste support for RTF data and file contents.

* guestd has been removed from open-vm-tools; vmtoolsd is now the only
option for the main tools service.

* Added vmblock and vmmemctl modules for Solaris (under the CDDL).

* vmware-user can now work with both vmblock-fuse and vmblock.

* Linux HGFS now has a stream-based (TCP, vsock) transport, still under
development.

* First batch of changes to cleanup duplicated files in the source tree.
Most duplicated files in the Linux kernel modules have been cleaned up.
- Extensive rewrite of the spec file:

* make use of the now upstream provided make install

* configure --no-root-privileges, to not install mount.vmhgfs as suid
- Add patch open-vm-tools-2009.04.23-rpath.diff: removes the rpath logic
which was introduced for the vmusr and vmsvc plugins. libtools is broken
in this respect. (patch submitted upstream for review)
- Extend preun section with service rename (vmware-guest -> vmtoolsd)
(patch provided by prusnak)
- forcibly activate vmtoolsd service also on update.
- fix up the KMP rename: for this to work we need to provide / obsolete
vmware-kmp and vmware-kmp-; otherwise, zypper starts pulling
in other kernels.

Fri Mar 20 13:00:00 2009 dominiqueAATTleuenberger.net
- rename vmware-KMP to vmware-guest-KMP for easier identification
of the use and to avoid confusion (users installing the KMP on the

- > vmtoolsd is not yet standard enabled in openSUSE packages.
- Obsolete merged patches vmxnet and vmxnet3.patch.

Mon Mar 9 13:00:00 2009 mmarekAATTsuse.cz
- renamed modprobe config to /etc/modprobe.d/50-vmnics.conf
(required by new module-init-tools).
