Can I get a version bump or a new ebuild for the vmware console to support vmware-console 3.0.0-7592? The new VMware console is backwards compatible with previous versions of the GSX Server. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I'll look into it.
Jacob, would you send me an email so we can discuss something outside of bugzilla? I have sent you emails on 2 occasions and have not gotten a response from you.
Added to CVS. Thanks for the help in getting this going.
Created attachment 32605 [details] app-emulation/vmware-console-3.0.0.7592.ebuild (Update) Does the ebuild in Portage work? I wrote an ebuild for it as well (I wrote the original ebuild for 2.x.x) before I noticed that there was one in Portage, and found that if I did not put this bit of sed magic in at the top of src_install: src_install () { # Fix the path in vmware-console sed -i -e 's|\(/bin/vmware-console\)|/opt/vmware/lib\1|' \ bin/vmware-console /usr/bin/vmware-console would bomb out with the following error: ldd: /bin/vmware-console: No such file or directory /usr/bin/vmware-console: line 189: /bin/vmware-console: No such file or directory /usr/bin/vmware-console: line 189: exec: /bin/vmware-console: cannot execute: No such file or directory Find my ebuild attached that corrects this issue.
Please take a look at the comment attached to attachment #32605 [details]. I am willing to take over maintaining the vmware-console ebuilds, since I use vmware-console on a daily basis and my company uses GSX heavily. Is that OK with you, Chris?
vmware-console is all yours... ;] I only ended up with it because I'm the maintainer for vmware-workstation. I don't even use GSX/ESX, so I was having to get the tarballs from users to be able to even make digests, so yeah... it would probably be a good idea to have someone else interested take it over. Be sure to change the metadata.xml! *grin* I'm glad I could hand it off to someone that uses it.
OK, I will take vmware-console and make the necessary update to metadata.xml. My ebuild is shite, BTW, so don't anyone use it before it makes it into Portage! I am working on a *real* fix right now.
Created attachment 32623 [details] app-emulation/vmware-console-3.0.0.7592.ebuild (Update) Might as well stick my latest ebuild up here so that anyone browsing this bug does not attempt to use the rubbish one.
My ebuild is in CVS. I did not bump the revision as I doubt there are too many vmware-console users out there. vmware-console users, please check it out and let me know how it works so that we can get this marked stable ASAP!
