open-vm-tools 11.0 will be too late this cycle (mid September), therefore in our "one MRE per cycle" approach to ensure the latest LTS stays up to match hypervisors we will backport 10.3.10 now.
** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * Without SRUing the newer version users get issues running on more + recent hypervisors - this is a case of [1] in the SRU policy. + + * Furthermore Upstream releases this as a collection of fixes which is + usually worth to pick up. + + * This is not backporting a single fix, but the version of a latter + Ubuntu release + + [Test Case] + + * TL;DR is "use open-vm-tools" but that can be quite complex for the + variety of potential Host versions. + + * VMWare itself took ownership of verifying these backports and will test + the same bits from a PPA and the SRU for the official "ack" + + * We tried upgrading and the setup that I had available, everybody that + has different setups is invited to test theirs. + + * In general I recommend to give this some extra time in -proposed to see + if anybody comes up with issues on this. + + [Regression Potential] + + * It is a new version which might contain new issues. This time a bit + safer than the last one thou, as we have already backported some bigger + changes between 10.3.5 -> 10.3.10 with individual SRUs so the remaining + changes should be rather safe. + + [Other Info] + + * This time this is only the MRE, no extra bugs (with extra + test/verification descriptions) are associated. + * As agreed back when processing bug 1741390 the real verification of + open-vm-tools for having the proper test matrix and project ownership + is on VMWare. + + + [1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Other_safe_cases + + --- original bug on disco and later --- + We have released open-vm-tools 10.3.10. open-vm-tools 10.3.10 is available for download from GitHub: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/tree/stable-10.3.10 For more details and changes, please refer to the release notes at https://github.com/vmware/open-vm- tools/blob/stable-10.3.10/ReleaseNotes.md or the ChangeLog at: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/stable-10.3.10/open-vm- tools/ChangeLog - - Also filed at Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925940 + Also filed at Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- + bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925940 Oliver ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu Cosmic) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822204 Title: open-vm-tools 10.3.10 released To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1822204/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
