Changelog for open-vm-tools-desktop-10.3.10-26.1.x86_64.rpm :

* Fri Mar 29 2019 kallan - Update to 10.3.10 (build 12406962) (boo#1130898) + Resolved - In certain cases, quiesced snapshots on Linux guests do not include backup manifests.- Drop unnecessary patch: - include_log_h_for_g_info.patch - no_manifest_on_aborted_snapshot.patch - send_vmbackup_event_generic_manifest.patch - vmtoolsd_bailout_on_rpc_errors.patch
* Wed Mar 13 2019 kallan - Link VGAuthService to libxmlsec1 rather than libxml-security-c for SLES 15 and SLES 15 SP1. It requires libxmlsec1 to be available in the base. VGAuthService is already being linked with libxmlsec1 for SLES 12 SP4. (bsc#1122435)
* Tue Feb 26 2019 Martin Liška - Add gcc9-warnings.patch (bsc#1126102).
* Fri Feb 08 2019 kallanAATTsuse.com- Link VGAuthService to libxmlsec1 rather than libxml-security-c in SLE products where available. (bsc#1122435)- Add patches to correct and/or improve handling of certain quiesced snapshot failures (bsc#1124397). + no_manifest_on_aborted_snapshot.patch Don\'t send a backup manifest when aborting a Linux quiesced snapshot. + vmtoolsd_bailout_on_rpc_errors.patch Bail out vmtoolsd early when there are RPC errors. + send_vmbackup_event_generic_manifest.patch Always send VMBACKUP_EVENT_GENERIC_MANIFEST during quiesced snapshots. + include_log_h_for_g_info.patch Include vmware/tools/log.h to define g_info.
* Tue Jan 29 2019 kallanAATTsuse.com- Update vmtoolsd.service to support cloud-init customization by default by adding \"DefaultDependencies=no\" and \"Before=cloud-init-local.service\" to the [Unit] section of vmtoolsd.service (bsc#1121964) .- Copyright year updated in spec file.
* Fri Nov 09 2018 kallanAATTsuse.com- Update to 10.3.5 (build 10430147) (boo#1115118) + While running a quiesced snapshot of a Linux guest on the vSphere hosts earlier than version 6.7, open-vm-tools logs warning messages. + CreateTemporaryFileInGuest/CreateTemporaryDirectoryInGuest returns a file path that does not exist. + Excessive spikes of the Memory/Workload percentage metric, in a vRealize Operations cluster. + open-vm-tools Service running as vmusr crashes on Linux systems which are not running on the VMware platform.- Drop unnecessary patch: - false-negative-cloud-init.patch - handle-linux-kernel-stat-overflow.patch - optional-override-os-name.patch
* Fri Oct 12 2018 kallanAATTsuse.com- Added Handle Linux kernel /proc FS uint32 type stat overflow when calculating (bsc#1110793). + handle-linux-kernel-stat-overflow.patch On both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux, tools always parses Linux kernel /proc FS stats as uint64 values. For rate stats, current - previous can handle uint64 type stat overflow, but not uint32 type.- Added patch for Optional override for short and long OS names sent from Tools (bsc#1047469). + optional-override-os-name.patch Added support for customers to override the returned long and short OS names through the tools config file. If the setting is present, then names gathered by hostinfo will be ignored. The user is responsible for setting the appropriate names.- Added patch for Workaround for false negative result when detecting cloud-init existance (bsc#1111619) + false-negative-cloud-init.patch \"cloud-init -v\" cmd is used to detect if cloud-init is properly configured and it works on most linux distros. However in some linux distro like Amazon Linux 2, \"cloud-init -v\" will print result to stderr instead of stdout and it makes \"forkExecAndWaitCommand\" give false negative result. 1. added a new bool switch in \"ForkExecAndWaitCommand\" to choose if we should ignore the stderr output when the return code is 0 2. removed unnecessary reference for \"ForkExecAndWaitCommand\" in linuxDeploymentUtilities.c 3. trivial change for some formatting
* Wed Aug 15 2018 kallanAATTsuse.com- After updating the project to include openSUSE_Leap_15.0 and SLE_15, the builds for these two projects fail because of unresolved dependencies. Some Factory configuration settings were being used for them. Need to adjust the spec file to not use Factory configuration settings for openSUSE_Leap_15.0 and SLE_15.
* Fri Aug 10 2018 kallanAATTsuse.com- Remove vgauthd.service from the %pre and %post section in the spec file. This allows vmtoolsd.service to enable vgauthd if needed which creates the vmtoolsd.service.requires/vgauthd.service symlink. (bsc#1103868)- Add Requires: libxmlsec1-openssl1 to the spec file. This is needed when using xmlsec1 rather than xml-ssecurity-c.
* Mon Aug 06 2018 kallanAATTsuse.com- Update to 10.3.0 (build 8931395) + Starting with 10.3.0, open-vm-tools builds with xmlsec1 by default (instead of building with xml-security). To revert to the old behavior and build with xml-security, use the option \'--enable-xmlsecurity\' for the ./configure command. + Add BuildRequires: libxml2-devel + Add BuildRequires: pkgconfig(xmlsec1) for all openSUSE builds + Use --enable-xmlsecurity when building for SLE- Drop unnecessary patches - 100-libtirpc.patch

For more details, see [Documentation](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tools/index.html) + Disable display mode setting: A configuration option is introduced to disable normal display mode setting functionality using open-vm-tools. For more details, see [KB 53572](https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/53572).- Drop unnecessary patches - udev_rules-disk-devs-only.patch
* Tue Feb 13 2018 dimstarAATTopensuse.org- Stop depending on the meta-package xorg-x11-devel as BuildRequires, but use the explicit module names configure is looking for: pkgconfig(sm), pkgconfig(xcomposite), pkgconfig(xext), pkgconfig(xi), pkgconfig(xinerama), pkgconfig(xrandr), pkgconfig(xrender) and pkgconfig(xtst).

* 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.

* 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 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 vmware hosts) (bnc#481137)- create subpackage libvmtools0
