Description Anselm Busse 2015-12-28 16:56:19 UTC

Version 10.0.5 was released lately. Besides other things, it brings support for newer kernel versions.

Comment 1 Mike DeSimone 2016-04-15 15:19:37 UTC

Version 10.0.7 was released: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-10.0.7

I attempted an ebuild, but bug 565544 is still present.

Comment 2 Mike DeSimone 2016-04-24 15:57:51 UTC

Just noticed this bug was for open-vm-tools-kmod, not open-vm-tools.

open-vm-tools-kmod is currently an empty package whose purpose is to remove earlier versions' installed files. It doesn't need a version bump as much as a deprecation plan (mask?). Everything is in open-vm-tools starting with 10.0.0.

(Side note: I managed to fix bug 565544.)

app-emulation/open-vm-tools-10.1.0 optionally builds/installs the kernel modules now.
