Thanks for putting these out. I think they'll be a great help. Where's the best place to report bugs on them? For instance, I just started looking at the packages for RHEL5 and noticed an issue. /usr/lib/vmware-tools/functions makes use of 'lsb_release' yet none of the packages actually require redhat-lsb which provides lsb_release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
