Description Carsten Frewert 2005-07-21 03:36:57 UTC

vmware-any-any-update93 is available.

I had problems with frozen Win2K Guests on kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r6.
But I just recognized that I was using vmware-any-any-update90 
instead of version 92 currently used in 
vmware-workstation-4.5.2.8848-r6.
However, the problem seems to be fixed (in 92 or 93).
No problems with vmware-any-any-update93 so far.

Does it work with 92?

I don't update the vmware ebuilds every time a new update comes out, otherwise I
would be updating them constantly.  I only update them when an actual bug is
filed that is fixed in the newer version.

Since the readme.txt hasn't been updated yet, I don't even know what this fixes.

Feel free to reopen this if 93 actually fixes an issue that you're experiencing.
 Otherwise, I'm going to wait until another bug comes along.

Comment 2 Carsten Frewert 2005-07-21 08:03:43 UTC

Sounds reasonably. I'll test with update 92 sometime later and
reopen if neccessary.
