Open Virtual Machine Tools
Open Virtual Machine Tools (open-vm-tools) are the open source
implementation of VMware Tools. They are a set of guest operating
system virtualization components that enhance performance and user
experience of virtual machines. As virtualization technology rapidly
becomes mainstream, each virtualization solution provider implements
their own set of tools and utilities to supplement the guest virtual
machine. However, most of the implementations are proprietary and are
tied to a specific virtualization platform.
With the Open Virtual Machine Tools project, we are hoping to solve
this and other related problems. The tools are currently composed of
kernel modules for Linux and user-space programs for all VMware
supported Unix-like guest operating systems. They provide several
useful functions like:
* File transfer between a host and guest
* Improved memory management and network performance under
virtualization
* General mechanisms and protocols for communication between host and
guests and from guest to guest

- Really drop open-vm-tools-kernel-3.8.patch (osc rm). - Drop open-vm-tools-kernel-3.6.patch: fixed upstream. - 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).
