I don't know if it's because I'm inpatient, or not, but I think I'm going to give this a try. I just got to make a small revision to the code (I got to uncomment a couple of lines). This will be done to the packaging, not the branch (not now, at least).
The revision (aka the uncommenting of lines) is so I have some sort of packaging (for open-vm-toolbox) to look at. So I can see what remains in the code after the removal of the GUI Toolbox. This is the plan: -Stuff that goes into the open-vm-toolbox package will go into the open-vm-tools package. At least the stuff that isn't commented out. -All package dependencies for open-vm-toolbox will added to the open-vm-tools dependencies. -Any other packages that require open-vm-toolbox, will point to the open-vm-tools package. I should have almost finished product in a couple of days, for everyone to try. Will it work, I don't know? As a minimum, I would like open- vm-toolbox (transitional or not) to successfully install/update without any issues. -- 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/776103 Title: package open-vm-dkms 2011.03.28-387002-0ubuntu2 fails to build against 2.6.39 kernels, due to missing linux/smp_lock.h To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/776103/+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
