Description Jose daLuz 2008-03-12 00:54:41 UTC
The most recent version of VMWare Workstation is 6.0.2.59824, and this version is in Portage keyword masked. The most recent vmware-workstation-tools in Portage is 5.5.3. This VMWare Workstation version has been out for several months now. Would it be possible to get a matching tools ebuild?

Note that the most recent version in the vmware overlay is 6.0.0.45731. I tried a rename to 6.0.2.59824 and copied over the patches and was able to install in a Gentoo VM, but the config script would not work, indicating the kernel modules had not been installed by the install script and that they needed to be deleted.
