I know that open-vm-tools is maintained by vmware. I meant the Vmware repo is alway matching latest vSphere release. But: - doesn't contain newer pv drivers - isn't on par with vSphere releases For example: 9.4.6 Dyno Hongjun Fu <hfu at vmware.com> Release matching the vSphere 5.5p02 release. 9.4.0 Dmitry Torokhov <dtor at vmware.com> Release matching the vSphere 5.5 release. There is no 9.4.6 rpm for C7 but we are running vSphere 5.5p02 VG Rainer Am 11.11.2014 um 16:17 schrieb Reindl Harald: > the ones from EPEL too > guess who maintains the packages.... > > Wed Jul 16 2014 Ravindra Kumar <ravindrakumar at vmware.com> - 9.4.6-1 > > https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=15954 > https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=545136 > > Am 11.11.2014 um 15:22 schrieb Rainer Traut: >> Why? >> VMWare's rpm repo is well maintained until EL6. >> >> Am 11.11.2014 um 14:22 schrieb Nux!: >>> I would use the open-vm-tools from EPEL in EL6 as well >
