Comment 1 Manfred Knick 2020-11-20 10:35:58 UTC 
The corresponding download is named

    VMware-Workstation-Full-16.1.0-17198959.x86_64.bundle

and can be found in

http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/ws/16.1.0/17198959/linux/core/
Comment 2 Manfred Knick 2020-11-21 13:51:09 UTC 
- Copy-rename:

	vmware-workstation-16.1.0.17198959.ebuild
	files/vmware-16.1.rc
	vmware-modules-16.1.0.ebuild
		\\ upgrade: MY_KERNEL_VERSION="5.9"

  WORKSFORME.


@ Stefan:

Seems we no longer need
	./vmware-workstation/contrib/
		vmware-workstation-0-various-automation-hacks.patch
		vmware-workstation-1-wierd-symlinks.patch
		vmware-workstation-2-more-symlinks.patch     ?

At least, I could not find any mention via grep.

Moving ./contrib/ out of the way:
+ modules and workstation still emerge without any complaints

CONFIRMATION:
  Tested with my „usual suspects“.

Kind regards

vmware-workstation-16.1.0.17198959 is now available and I've deleted those old patches I didn't get around to testing. Thanks again!
Comment 4 Manfred Knick 2020-11-21 19:47:45 UTC 
Extracting  just .../app-emulation/vmware-* 
  from Stefan‘s Overlay
  into an essentially stable Gentoo minimalistic local overlay

	WORKSFORME

CONFIRMATION:

	+ No further dependencies upon any other elements 
	  from Stefan's overlay at all

	+ Tested with my „usual suspects“

There's no difference between w16.1.0-k5.9 and w16.1.0-k5.10, but I bumped the kernel version anyway, yesterday.
