I want to create some rpms to install the open-vm-tools on my CentOS 5.4 servers. I have not been able to find any srpms that are of recent vintage (The most recent I have found uses the version of open-vm-tools released in Dec. 2008).
Before I spend a lot of time building a new srpm, I thought I would ask if anyone has already done this...
Thanks, David

I started doing some work long time ago. You can find it here:

The kmod package is kABI-tracking, and I was thinking of offering it through the ELRepo project (http://elrepo.org).
I currently do not have the time to push it forward. I think your effort would be greatly appreciated by the community. Of course, I will provide any help you may need.
