I've uploaded a new version of your patch, Michael. This time with adjusted for locations within the package itself.
I just have to add the Name and Description lines. That'll be done after I installed the updated package. Also, I've linked this bug report to my prep branch, which has a recipe that will build the working copy (with the combined tar.gz) to one of my Virtual Repo. ** Patch added: "0008-linux-312-fixes.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1254931/+attachment/3933927/+files/0008-linux-312-fixes.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1254931 Title: open-vm-tools-dkms 2013.09.16-1328054-0ubuntu2: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build [error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘kgid_t’ from type ‘int’] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1254931/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
