Hello all,
As a member of the VMware Tools team since 2016, I have actively participated in the
publication of granular change updates to the branches of
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/. For the past year I have been responsible for
committing the changes to GitHub as well as publishing the last 5 releases of
open-vmtools, versions 11.1.5 through 11.3.5.
To test open-vm-tools changes, VMware internally builds open-vm-tools packages for
actively supported Linux releases as well as in progress Linux builds. This involves
packaging changes both for RPM packaging and Debian dpkg formats. Needed packaging
changes are shared with Linux vendors when I file rebase requests for each open-vm-tools
release.
I look forward to working with the Fedora community and particularly with the
open-vm-tools packaging team.
Regards,
John Wolfe
