Description Lari Korpi 2005-10-20 02:07:50 UTC

I'd like to load vmware player in to my Gentoo installation, but it is not yet
in Gentoo's package database.

Advance thanks on your effort.

Just FYI - VMware Player comes with Workstation v5.5...

Comment 2 Giacomo Perale 2005-10-20 14:13:53 UTC

it's been released as a stand-alone free-as-a-beer application, see

What I am not sure is that it can be downloaded direcly from portage and I
don't make the ebuild compatible to have vmware-workstation that is why I don't
allow it  in dependences. By other hand is quite stupid to have vmplayer and
vmware.
