Ebuilds updated in my overlay: https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/gentoo-overlay

I had to double the source size (to over 1 GiB) in order to get the latest macOS ISO images, because they only come in full Workstation PRO archives. That's only if you have one of the "vmware-tools-darwin" or "vmware-tools-darwinPre15" USE flags enabled, of course.

  Thanks!      That was quick,  once again!

  Confirm:     WORKSFORME.      Tested with the 'usual suspects'.

Are you still interested to be placed "CC" in future bugs?
If so, please be so kind to confirm.
I do not want to impose unwanted noise.

Comment 10 Manfred Knick 2019-11-30 17:12:30 UTC
WARNING / HINT concerning -modules:

Unfortunately, -15.5.1  does not comply with -5.4.1 out of the box right now.

Patches are available:

. . . http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2645

pointing to 

. . . https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/workstation-15.5.1

Would expect a "15.5.2" by VMware.
Comment 12 Manfred Knick 2019-11-30 20:04:06 UTC
Sorry for not having recognized in time;
WORKSFORME.
Comment 13 Manfred Knick 2019-12-24 14:14:29 UTC
Just to NOTE:

Fortunately, -15.5.1 already covers VMSA-2019-0023:
