** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * In the past a lack of updated open-vm-tools versions was found fatal + and therefore we agreed to regularly backport those to the latest LTS. + This is backporting the recent version 11.5 to Focal. + + [Test Case] + + * Test open-vm-tools done by VMWare QA Team as agreed for these + backports. + + [Regression Potential] + + * This has the usual regression potential of a new version upgrade and + therefore is higher than a usual SRU. But as agreed int he past to + support new (virtual) hardware open-vm-tools shall regularly be + backported. I suggest keeping it somewhat longer in proposed than usual + just to be on the safe side. + + [Other Info] + + * This is a practice for or quite a while (almost two years now), see: + - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1741390 + - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1784638 + - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1813944 + - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1822204 + - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1844834 + - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1868012 + - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1877672 + + The request back then came from the community and the decision back then + was between VMWare and Ubuntu.
