Sincerest apologies, I copied the anticipated RPM packaging changes needed for
the open-vm-tools 11.3.0 tools. I meant to include the following suggestions:
Suggested packaging changes needed to the debian/rules file:
1. vmwgfxctrl command- in open-vm-tools-desktop .deb package.
- requires access to libdrm and libudev to be compiled and will dlopen()
at runtime. Will quietly exit if runtime not available on guest VM.
Build dependencies: libdrm, libudev
Add to open-vm-tools-desktop package:
mv debian/open-vm-tools/usr/bin/vmwgfxctrl
debian/open-vm-tools-desktop/usr/bin
2. The open-vm-tools source release contains a complete example of a
tools.conf. Please package this open-vm-tools/tools.conf file ass
/etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf.example
New commands,libraries and vmsvc plugins to be a part of the open-vm-tools .deb
package
usr/bin/vmware-alias-import
usr/lib/libguestStoreClient.so.0*
usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/libguestStore.so
usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc/libgdp.so
3. new vmsvc plugins:
%{_libdir}/libguestStoreClient.so.*
%{_libdir}/%{name}/plugins/vmsvc/libgdp.so
%{_libdir}/%{name}/plugins/vmsvc/libguestStore.so
