Hi all, It has been a very long time since open-vm-tools has seen an official update and it seems distributions are just all trying to 'keep it floating', mainly with every kernel update there is something differently breaking.
Of course it got much better already, as most kernel modules are merged inline, and the tools are merely just 'tools', but to my records there is still need for the vmhgfs kernel modules (for proper sharing between host/guest) The last release of open-vm-tools was 9.4.6 (Jul 2014); and the number of patches to carry does not give a great feeling (openSUSE's package can ge found at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/open-vm-tools-KMP ) I'd be looking forward to a release once in a while, that is keeping up with the kernel as needed.
