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. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 6 16:43:54 CEST 2009 - meissner@suse.de - Adjust specfile permission handling to match SUSE standard, snippet moved to permissions package. bnc#474285 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jul 23 11:35:10 CEST 2009 - dominique-obs@leuenberger.net - Update to 2009.07.22 * Better support for dkms by means of a script to help create a dkms tree. * "make install" now also installs header files for public libraries, plus a few fixes to incorrect install behavior. * Lots of improvements to the new DnD code. * This will be the last release with support for Linux kernels < 2.6.9. - fix compatibiliy update script to redirect stderr to /dev/null (in case the script is not found, do not scare the user) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jul 21 12:19:11 CEST 2009 - prusnak@suse.cz - added || : to modprobe -r and umount calls in vmtoolsd [bnc#523342] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jun 19 08:55:36 CEST 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 09:38:07 CEST 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 23:24:33 CEST 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Mar 21 00:03:12 CET 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 13:02:15 CET 2009 - dominique@leuenberger.net - Upgrade to snapshot 2009.03.18 * Mostly a bug fix release. * The new DnD V3 protocol is now available in open-vm-tools. * vmtoolsd is now preferred instead of vmware-guestd - vmware-guestd will most probably be completely removed in the next release. -> vmtoolsd is not yet standard enabled in openSUSE packages. - Obsolete merged patches vmxnet and vmxnet3.patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 9 21:38:17 CET 2009 - mmarek@suse.cz - renamed modprobe config to /etc/modprobe.d/50-vmnics.conf (required by new module-init-tools). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Feb 19 09:40:12 CET 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 14:26:13 CET 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 10:46:15 CET 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 20:45:00 CET 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 11:07:27 CET 2009 - prusnak@suse.cz - install vmware-user-suid-wrapper with suid bit ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jan 26 09:34:36 CET 2009 - prusnak@suse.cz - reviewed changes by Dominique ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jan 22 09:05:00 CET 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 14:08:39 CET 2009 - prusnak@suse.cz - reviewed changes by Dominique ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 25 16:37:00 CEST 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 19:04:00 CEST 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 20:41:00 CEST 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 10:14:00 CEST 2008 - prusnak@suse.cz - fixed license problem with region.c by applying patch from upstream ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 8 20:41:00 CEST 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 11:15:26 CEST 2008 - prusnak@suse.cz - reviewed changes by Dominique ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Sep 3 21:16:41 CEST 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 11:10:15 CEST 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 19:35:41 CEST 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 16:49:41 CEST 2008 - dominique@leuenberger.net - added packageand(open-vm-tools:xorg-x11) to Supplements of open-vm-tools-gui sub package ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri Aug 22 07:30:15 CEST 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 23:02:15 CEST 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Aug 12 16:17:07 CEST 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 17:02:15 CEST 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 15:58:33 CEST 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 22:49:17 EEST 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 11:11:17 CEST 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 27 21:00:00 EST 2008 - dominique-rpm@leuenberger.net - Excluded the building of KMPs for XEN, probably nobody installs a vmware host in xen. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu May 22 10:20:14 CEST 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 17:00:00 EET 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 16:43:00 EET 2008 - dominique-rpm@leuenberger.net - Added preamble for %suse_kernel_module_package in order to have a Recommends: open-vm-tools on the kmp.
