vmware-modules-279.6.ebuild

Lot of error messages due to API change between kernel release since 4.0 (sk_alloc, proto_ops droped kiocb, etc.). Went ahead and fixed it. Please find code fixes and patched ebuild.

REFERENCE:

Bug 616958 :  12.5.7 version bump


Currently, we are @ 4.9.36 for latest longterm.

Current [Overlay] already includes:

           vmware-modules-304.4-r1.ebuild
and        vmware-modules-308.5.7.ebuild ,
but no
          <vmware-modules-279.x.y.ebuild.

To me, this bug seems to be FIXED / OBSOLETE.
Comment 6 Manfred Knick 2017-11-30 11:00:24 UTC 
VMware Products have been removed from Main Portage Tree during Nov-2017.

Further development has been relegated to [vmware] Overlay.
