@ Toralf:

Is this bug still valid with current app-emulation/open-vm-tools-10.3.5:0 ?

@ Mike:

Why are unsecure EOL versions kept in Main Portage Tree,
which have already been pruned from upstream, AFAICS?

(In reply to Manfred Knick from comment #8)

I like to keep a few versions around in case newer versions introduce regressions.

I know your personal habit ;-)

Humble porposal:
Please, at least hard-mask those old EOL versions - 
they *are* severe security risks!


Hint:

Very unfortunately,

. . . [vmware-overlay]

had to be been closed down
and was removed from overlays/repositories.xml:

. . . Bug 627666 - vmware: no reply to project status mail

. . . [ https://bugs.gentoo.org/627666#c8 ] ff.

Currently up-to-date and perfectly working versions of vmware-workstation:
c.f.
  - Bug 663670     and
  - Bug 671218

HINT concerning vmware-player:
  - just install above;
  - vmware-player will be included :-)
