[cross-posting to both the announce and devel lists] Hi folks,
A couple of days ago VMware announced the general availability of VMware Tools Operating System Specific Packages (OSPs) for several Linux distributions. Using OSPs, enterprise customers virtualizing Linux on VI will be able to install/update/manage their VMware Tools installations using the guest operating systems' native packaging format (rpm, deb etc) and update mechanisms (apt, yum, rug, etc). More details including a list of supported ESX releases, guest operating systems, documentation and package repository are available from the OSP web page at http://packages.vmware.com. Naturally, this is bound to raise several questions related to OSPs and open-vm-tools. To help answer some of the common ones, we've put together this short Q&A page on the open-vm-tools project wiki page at http://open-vm-tools.wiki.sourceforge.net/OSP. Please take a look and let us know if you have any additional questions/comments on this topic.
