- A number of Coverity reported issues have been addressed.
- The deployPkg plugin may prematurely reboot the guest VM before cloud-init
has completed user data setup. If both the Perl based Linux customization
script and cloud-init run when the guest VM boots, the deployPkg plugin
may reboot the guest before cloud-init has finished. The deployPkg
plugin has been updated to wait for a running cloud-init process to
finish before the guest VM reboot is initiated. This issue is fixed in
this release.
- A SIGSEGV may be encountered when a non-quiesing snapshot times out.
This issue is fixed in this release.
- Unwanted vmtoolsd service error message if not on a VMware hypervisor.
When open-vm-tools comes preinstalled in a base Linux release, the vmtoolsd
services are started automatically at system start and desktop login.
If running on physical hardware or in a non-VMware hypervisor, the services
will emit an error message to the Systemd's logging service before stopping.
This issue is fixed in this release.

- Update to 11.3.5 (build 18557794) (boo#1190987)
+ New/Updated features:
- Added a configurable logging capability to the network script.
The network script has been updated to:
use vmware-toolbox-cmd to query any network logging configuration from
the tools.conf file. Use vmtoolsd --cmd "log ..." to log a message to
the vmx logfile when the logging handler is configured to "vmx" or when
the logfile is full or is not writeable.
- The hgfsmounter (mount.vmhgfs) command has been removed from
open-vm-tools.
The hgfsmounter (mount.vmhgfs) command is no longer used in
Linux open-vm-tools. It has been replaced by hgfs-fuse. Therefore,
removing all references to the hgfsmounter in Linux builds.
+ Resolved issues:
- Customization: Retry the Linux reboot if telinit is a soft link to
systemctl.
- Open-vm-tools commands would hang if configured with "--enable-valgrind".

have been addressed.
- A command line tool, vmwgfxctrl, has been added to open-vm-tools for
Linux that can be used to control various aspects of the vmwgfx Linux
kernel module. Currently it can both display and set the current
topology of the vmwgfx kernel driver. It is useful when trying to
configure custom resolutions on recent Linux distributions, including
multi-monitor setups.
- A command line tool, vmware-alias-import, has been added to
open-vm-tools that can be used to import vgauth config data and apply
it to the running vgauth service.

as configure explicitly looks for it, it is our own duty to
ensure its presence.
* Wed Oct 21 2020 kallan@suse.com

- Added Handle Linux kernel /proc FS uint32 type stat overflow when calculating
(bsc#1110793).
+ handle-linux-kernel-stat-overflow.patch
On both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux, tools always parses Linux kernel /proc
FS stats as uint64 values. For rate stats, current - previous can handle
uint64 type stat overflow, but not uint32 type.
- Added patch for Optional override for short and long OS names sent from Tools
(bsc#1047469).
+ optional-override-os-name.patch
Added support for customers to override the returned long and short OS
names through the tools config file. If the setting is present, then names
gathered by hostinfo will be ignored. The user is responsible for setting
the appropriate names.
- Added patch for Workaround for false negative result when detecting
cloud-init existance (bsc#1111619)
+ false-negative-cloud-init.patch
"cloud-init -v" cmd is used to detect if cloud-init is properly configured
and it works on most linux distros. However in some linux distro like
Amazon Linux 2, "cloud-init -v" will print result to stderr instead of
stdout and it makes "forkExecAndWaitCommand" give false negative result.
1. added a new bool switch in "ForkExecAndWaitCommand" to choose
if we should ignore the stderr output when the return code is 0
2. removed unnecessary reference for "ForkExecAndWaitCommand" in
linuxDeploymentUtilities.c
3. trivial change for some formatting
* Wed Aug 15 2018 kallan@suse.com
- After updating the project to include openSUSE_Leap_15.0 and SLE_15, the
builds for these two projects fail because of unresolved dependencies.
Some Factory configuration settings were being used for them. Need to adjust
the spec file to not use Factory configuration settings for
openSUSE_Leap_15.0 and SLE_15.
* Fri Aug 10 2018 kallan@suse.com
- Remove vgauthd.service from the %%pre and %%post section in the spec file.
This allows vmtoolsd.service to enable vgauthd if needed which creates
the vmtoolsd.service.requires/vgauthd.service symlink. (bsc#1103868)
- Add Requires: libxmlsec1-openssl1 to the spec file. This is needed when
using xmlsec1 rather than xml-ssecurity-c.
* Mon Aug 6 2018 kallan@suse.com
- Update to 10.3.0 (build 8931395)
+ Starting with 10.3.0, open-vm-tools builds with xmlsec1 by default (instead
of building with xml-security). To revert to the old behavior and build
with xml-security, use the option '--enable-xmlsecurity' for the
./configure command.
+ Add BuildRequires: libxml2-devel
+ Add BuildRequires: pkgconfig(xmlsec1) for all openSUSE builds
+ Use --enable-xmlsecurity when building for SLE
- Drop unnecessary patches

looking for: pkgconfig(sm), pkgconfig(xcomposite),
pkgconfig(xext), pkgconfig(xi), pkgconfig(xinerama),

- Inject -Wno-unused-local-typedefs into CFLAGS.
- Only build vmsync up to openSUSE 12.3.
- Disable build of vmhgfs (and related tools) on openSUSE > 12.3,
as the module fails and VMWare is unresponsive in providing a
fix. Maybe one day, when there is actual commitment, the module
and the related tools / mount-helpers can be re-enabled (see also
bnc#834369).
- Wrap the KMP Package in a condition to only build when there are
actually modules to be built (vm_modules not empty).
- Do not require vmware-guest-kmp from the main package if we do
not built KMP packages (if there are no modules to be built).

distros.
+ vsock/vmci improvements.
+ bug fixes in the vmxnet / vmxnet3 drivers, and FreeBSD's
vmblock driver.
+ vmxnet3 for Linux is now upstream (as of Linux 2.6.32), and
will be removed from later releases of open-vm-tools.
+ pvscsi will be available upstream starting with Linux 2.6.33
and at that time will be removed from open-vm-tools.

- Remove the autoreconf call. We do not patch any Makefiles anymore.
- Require libvmtools0 from the -devel package.
- Drop the rpmlintrc file. Permissions are correctyl set, devel
package split out.

(in case the script is not found, do not scare the user)
* Tue Jul 21 2009 prusnak@suse.cz
- added || : to modprobe -r and umount calls in vmtoolsd [bnc#523342]
* Fri Jun 19 2009 dominique-obs@leuenberger.net
- Updated to 2009.06.18
* Mostly a bug fix release.
* vmhgfs now is able to use vsock as a transport (although
backend support for HGFS over vsock is not yet released in
VMware products).
- Removed patch open-vm-tools-wiperPosix.patch. An alternative
solution was integrated upstream
- Dropped patch open-vm-tools-rpath.patch: merged upstream
* Sat May 23 2009 dominique-obs@leuenberger.net
- Updated to 2009.05.22
* Mostly a cleanup and bug fix release.
* Fix a build issue where a symlink attack could cause the
open-vm-tools build to overwrite data (by placing a symlink in
/tmp).
* Second (and last?) batch of changes to clean up duplicate files
in the source tree, including Solaris and FreeBSD kernel
modules andother module-specific shared files.
* Plugins now are properly built using plugins_LTLIBRARIES so
that "-rpath" doesn't need to be used (this would cause an
RPATH entry to be added to the final binary, which some tools
didn't like).
* open-vm-tools now properly detects PAM and enables PAM support
in the code.
- Removed -rpath.patch. Variation of it integrated upstream
- Added patch to consume (-wiperPosix.patch) the result of fgets
- BuildRequires pam-devel
- The pam miss-naming on x86_64 has been fixed upstream
- Add a new -rpath patch. Not everything is solved upstream.
- Delete arch dependent files from /usr/share (not yet needed)
* Sat Apr 25 2009 dominique.leuenberger@tmf-group.com
- Upgrade to snapshot 2009.04.23
* Implemented copy & paste support for RTF data and file contents.
* guestd has been removed from open-vm-tools; vmtoolsd is now the only
option for the main tools service.
* Added vmblock and vmmemctl modules for Solaris (under the CDDL).
* vmware-user can now work with both vmblock-fuse and vmblock.
* Linux HGFS now has a stream-based (TCP, vsock) transport, still under
development.
* First batch of changes to cleanup duplicated files in the source tree.
Most duplicated files in the Linux kernel modules have been cleaned up.
- Extensive rewrite of the spec file:
* make use of the now upstream provided make install
* configure --no-root-privileges, to not install mount.vmhgfs as suid
- Add patch open-vm-tools-2009.04.23-rpath.diff: removes the rpath logic
which was introduced for the vmusr and vmsvc plugins. libtools is broken
in this respect. (patch submitted upstream for review)
- Extend preun section with service rename (vmware-guest -> vmtoolsd)
(patch provided by prusnak)
- forcibly activate vmtoolsd service also on update.
- fix up the KMP rename: for this to work we need to provide / obsolete
vmware-kmp and vmware-kmp-<kernelflavor>; otherwise, zypper starts pulling
in other kernels.
* Fri Mar 20 2009 dominique@leuenberger.net
- rename vmware-KMP to vmware-guest-KMP for easier identification
of the use and to avoid confusion (users installing the KMP on the
vmware hosts) (bnc#481137)
- create subpackage libvmtools0
* Thu Mar 19 2009 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Upgrade to snapshot 2009.03.18
* Mostly a bug fix release.

- Obsolete merged patches vmxnet and vmxnet3.patch.
* Mon Mar 9 2009 mmarek@suse.cz
- renamed modprobe config to /etc/modprobe.d/50-vmnics.conf
(required by new module-init-tools).
* Thu Feb 19 2009 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Upgrade to snapshot 2009.02.18
* open-vm-tools now depend on glib 2.6.0 as a minimum requirement.
* Added vmxnet module for Solaris, and reworked the HGFS module so it
works without help from vmware-guestd.
* Added implementation of new DnD protocol, which adds a dependency on
a C++ compiler and the gtkmm library to vmware-user.
* The code from the "core services" has been added to open-vm-tools,
including a few tests. vmtoolsd + plugins are now capable of replacing
vmware-guestd (vmware-user still needs to have some features ported
over), but this code is still not to be considered as stable as the
legacy services, so vmware-guestd is still included.
* A few fixes for compatibility with non-GNU toolchains, newer Linux
kernels and old gcc compilers.
- Added patch open-vm-tools-2009.02.18-vmxnet.patch
Allows to compile kernelmodule vmxnet with kernels 2.6.29
And open-vm-tools02009.02.18-vmxnet3.patch
* Mon Feb 16 2009 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Remove noDisplay=true from vmware-user.desktop, as KDE4
does not autostart the app in this case. Fixes BNC #475627
* Thu Feb 12 2009 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Added vmware-user-autostart-wrapper to solve bnc #474076
Using simple autostart technique, it can happen that the device
at /proc/fs/vmblock/dev is not ready when vmware-user is started
the autostart-wrapper takes this into account and tries for
several times.
- Fix RPMLint warning with regarding wrong encoding of README file
* Wed Feb 11 2009 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Revert suid install of vmware-user-suid-wrapper, as rpmlint does
not like it
Instead we package /etc/permissions.d/open-vm-tools which sets
the permission usig SuSEconfig.permissions
- Adjust the vmware-user.desktop file to actually launch
vmware-user-suid-wrapper. Access to the vmblock requires su right.
the suid-wrapper get's the file handle, drops the suid rights
and launches vmware-user (with user privileges)
* Tue Feb 10 2009 prusnak@suse.cz
- install vmware-user-suid-wrapper with suid bit
* Mon Jan 26 2009 prusnak@suse.cz
- reviewed changes by Dominique
* Thu Jan 22 2009 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Update to version 2009.01.21
* First open source release of the HGFS module for Solaris,
under the CDDL. Other modules are expected to be added in
the upcoming releases.
* Added an implementation of vmblock on top of FUSE;
vmware-user still doesn't use this module even if it is
available, though.
* Linux modules now add the "supported" tag used by Novell in
their SLES 10 SP2 release when loading modules.
* Fix compilation of modules in newer Linux kernels which
don't include $(LINUXINCLUDE) in the compiler flags anymore.
- Added Requires: kernel-%%1 to preamble, as rpmlint said it would
be policy to require kenrel-$favour from the kmp
- marked config files in /etc as %%config (rpmlint)
* Fri Jan 16 2009 prusnak@suse.cz
- reviewed changes by Dominique
* Thu Dec 25 2008 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Update to version 2008.12.23
* Lots of makefile cleanup with the switch to using libtool archives.
* Automatically disable Unity if multimon support is disabled.
* Actually build the pvscsi modules.
* First bits of the "Core Service" project are starting to show up; the
base "vmtools" library was added to the package. It currently is mostly
a collection of the existing libraries already shipped with open-vm-tools,
plus some extra functionality build on top of glib. Currently no other
code in open-vm-tools uses it, so it's optional.
* The HGFS driver was fixed for the Linux 2.6.28 kernel.
* Wed Nov 19 2008 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Updated to version 2008.11.19
* The pvscsi Linux kernel module has been added (for kernels >= 2.6.8).
It provides access to VMware's new paravirtualized SCSI device.
* The HGFS driver and user-level code has seen a lot of refactoring to
enable more consistent name escaping. The FreeBSD driver now supports
symlinks.
* The Linux module makefiles now support exporting symbol version files,
allowing modules with dependencies (such as vsock, which depends on vmci)
to correctly build and load on Linux >= 2.6.26 with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.
* Rudimentary support for dkms.
* Assortment of bug fixes.
* Wed Oct 15 2008 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Updated to version 2008.10.10
* The vmxnet3 Linux kernel module has been added. This module provides
better network performance for the guest. The corresponding virtual
hardware is available beginning with Workstation 6.5, though
performance benefits are unlikely to be realized until a later VMware
product release. The module should work for all kernels beginning with
2.6.
* The open-vm-tools no longer depend on libproc-dev. Several people
reported this issue (Sourceforge bug 1960947).
* Added a command line argument to skip privileged operations during
make install (--without-root-privileges).
* Guestd now supports backwards time synchronization, though the
corresponding hypervisor-side changes are not yet part of any shipping
VMware products.
* Assortment of bug fixes.
* Wed Sep 17 2008 prusnak@suse.cz
- fixed license problem with region.c by applying patch from upstream
* Mon Sep 8 2008 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Removed patch kver.patch, refactored it's function in the
make call, overriding the HEADER_DIR variable inside the
Makefile (Tip sponsored by Adar from VMware Inc.)
* Thu Sep 4 2008 prusnak@suse.cz
- reviewed changes by Dominique
* Wed Sep 3 2008 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Activated compilation of modules vmci and vsock after fixing the
kver.patch
- dropped obsoleted patch:
* str_c.patch (included in update)
* Wed Sep 3 2008 prusnak@suse.cz
- updated to 2008-09-03
* Fixed an issue where open-vm-tools fails to configure when using
- -without-icu. Thanks to Timo Gurr for reporting the issue
(Sourceforge bug 2046262).
* Fixed failed build on Ubuntu Intrepid and Fedora 9.
Thanks to Nathan Charles for reporting the issue
(Sourceforge bug 2048423).
* Fixed kernel module build issues on 2.6.27 pre-release kernels.
Thanks to Dominique Leuenberger for reporting the issue
(Sourceforge bug 2071170).
* ...and other bug fixes.
- dropped obsoleted patches:
* 2.6.27-kernel.patch (included in update)
* fix-Werror.patch (included in update)
* Sun Aug 24 2008 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Added open-vm-tools-2008-08-08-2.6.27-kernel.patch to compile on
more recent kernels (patch should be merged in next release)
* Fri Aug 22 2008 dominique@leuenberger.net
- added packageand(open-vm-tools:xorg-x11) to Supplements
of open-vm-tools-gui sub package
* Fri Aug 22 2008 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Re-arranged comments for the configure line. Apparently, comments
that appear in a line continuing on the next line, split using '\'
break the flow
* Wed Aug 20 2008 dominique@leuenberger.net
- Added --without-kernel-modules to configure, as we take
care of it on ourself using the loop, for the different
kernel variants
* Tue Aug 12 2008 prusnak@suse.cz
- updated to 2008.08.08
* Unity for X11 guests has been added. Unity is implemented within
vmware-user and requires no additional setup beyond setting up the
vmware-user application itself. Unity should work with Fusion 1.x
releases as well as with the upcoming Workstation 6.5 release. Our
in-house testing was with Linux guests, and they should mostly work.
There is very little standing in the way of FreeBSD/Solaris support,
though we've never built or tested Unity for those platforms.
* The VMCI Linux kernel module has been added. This module provides
high-speed datagram and socket interfaces for guest<->guest and
host<->guest communication. It should work for all kernels beginning
with 2.4, and for VMware products beginning with Workstation 6.5.
* The VMCI sockets Linux kernel module has been added. It provides
both datagram and stream socket interfaces to userlevel for use with
VMCI. As with VMCI, it should work for kernels 2.4 or later, and for
VMware products beginning with Workstation 6.5.
* The command-line Toolbox has been added. This application provides
the same functionality as the GTK Toolbox, but with a scriptable
command-line interface. It also has some statistic retrieval commands
that aren't found in the GTK Toolbox.
* Fixed compilation of vmsync and vmmemctl Linux kernel modules on
2.6.26. Thanks to Pavol Rusnak for the report (Sourceforge bug 2032683).
* Fixed an issue with guestd's nicInfo updating mechanism. Thanks to
Jason Lunz for the patch (not tracked on Sourceforge).
* Fixed handling of $(DESTDIR) in automake. Thanks to Mike Auty for
the patch (Sourceforge bug 2018802).
* Fixed build of vmware-user using gtk 1.2. Thanks to Stephen Duncan
for the report (Sourceforge bug 2014338).
* Fixed compilation of lib/guestApp when using --without-x. Thanks to
Martin Preishuber for the report (Sourceforge bug 2013568).
* As usual, other bug fixes.
* Mon Jul 21 2008 prusnak@suse.cz
- updated to 2008.07.01:
* fixed a backwards time synchronization issue
* fixed an issue where open-vm-tools configured via --without-x didn't
compile (not tracked on Sourceforge)
* one can now pass --without-kernel-modules, --with-kernel-release, and
- -with-linuxdir to the ./configure script
* other bug fixes.
- branched open-vm-tools-gui subpackage with tools that need X
* Thu Jun 12 2008 prusnak@suse.cz
- open-vm-tools now requires vmware-kmp [bnc#397972]
- exclude AMD PCnet32 LANCE pci.id from Supplements list [bnc#397554]
* Mon Jun 9 2008 dominique-obs@leuenberger.net
- Updated to version 2008.06.03
adopted spec file to new build structure layout (the binaries
are now named correctly just after build and do not need to
be renamed anymore)
- Replaced -werror patch with -fix-Werror-patch (submitted to
VMware for inclusion)
* Mon Jun 2 2008 prusnak@suse.cz
- updated vmware init-script [bnc#394431]:
* check whether /tmp/VMwareDnD exists and create it if necessary
* use modules vmblock, vmmemctl, vmsync for better performance
* mount the virtual system for Drag'n'Drop
* Wed May 28 2008 dominique-rpm@leuenberger.net
- Excluded the building of KMPs for XEN, probably nobody installs
a vmware host in xen.
* Thu May 22 2008 prusnak@suse.cz
- added Recommends: open-vm-tools to KMP preamble [bnc#391434]
- added -y to %%fillup_and_insserv macro, so the service starts
automatically [bnc#391434]
* Tue May 20 2008 dominique-rpm@leuenberger.net
- replaced %%build section with the one from openSUSE internal
stable build, for building properly against all buildtargets
* Tue May 20 2008 dominique-rpm@leuenberger.net
- Added preamble for %%suse_kernel_module_package in order to have
a Recommends: open-vm-tools on the kmp.
The KMP is installed by Supplements: the hardware ID, and the KMP
then pulls in the open-vm-tools package by Recommends (if available)
* Wed May 7 2008 dominique-rpm@leuenberger.net
- Updated to 2008.05.15:
* Removed "blessed app" code for starting vmware-user
