Thanks, Tru. What is the process for Sean's work to make it into the standard CentOS5 and 5.1 repositories? How will the tools package get updated as you patch the kernel? Perhaps we should cc Sean on the email? His home page on the Duke server has no contact information.
Let's have a look at his work and his redistribution license (spec). We could either start with his spec or roll our our own.
We might need to make a special "virtualisation" repo which will hold open-vm-tools or push that back into "extras".
There is also the kernel-vm rpms and prebuilt vmware guests which can go either route.
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1722 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2189
on my increasing todo list: document the creation and maintenance of the vmware guests (still 4.5 and 5.0).
Cheers,
Tru
