Bug#1037485: Adsense of ovt in Debian 12 iso image
Hi, One other thing which might be of interest for you, but not directly relating to the question if open-vm-tools is the iso image, /usr/lib/finish-install.d/08hw-detect in the debian-installer's hw-detect udeb should install open-vm-tools when it detects that the virtualization type is vmware: https://sources.debian.org/src/hw-detect/1.159/hw-detect.finish-install.d/08hw-detect/?hl=109#L104-L111 I realize this was not the question, but IMHO was worth mentioning. Regards, Salvatore

For previous released versions, open-vm-tools was included in this type of iso. Debian is growing, so things are gettings moved automatically. https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/ has some list-* folders which contain the list of packages of all packages. Rebuilding or customizing CDs is also not hard, for example you could provide uptodate netinst images that include open-vm-tools* Happy to help, Bernd Best regards, Winnie Yue From: Bernd Zeimetz Date: Wednesday, June 14, 2023 at 17:50 To: Winnie Yue , 1037...@bugs.debian.org <1037...@bugs.debian.org> Cc: cont...@bugs.debian.org Subject: Re: Bug#1037485: Adsense of ovt in Debian 12 iso image !!

Package: open-vm-tools Version: 11.2.5 or higher versions Severity: Serious We noticed that there is no open-vm-tools in Debian 12.0 iso image. We’d like to learn more about this change, is that by designed? If so, could you please tell us more about the reason? Thanks a lot. Best regards Winnie Yue
