Great - is there a *technical* (meaning non-policy) reason why Fedora's version of open-vm-tools doesn't support mounting host files in the guest? VMware does such a terrible job at tracking changes in the kernel source that I've given up on using it. And why is open-vm-tools installed by default on Fedora Workstation on bare metal or VirtualBox or qemu-kvm guests?
Sorry if I'm "shooting the messenger" here but I've just wasted a couple of days trying to make VMware Workstation work on a Fedora 21 host and Fedora 21 guests work with VMware hosts. There are two open source alternatives, one of which is just a "yum install" away on a Fedora 21 host and which works flawlessly with all modern kernels.On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 10:51 AM, Ravindra Kumar <ravindrakumar@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi all,
I'm the maintainer for open-vm-tools package in Fedora.
For the benefit of Fedora Atomic users on VMware platform, I would like to add open-vm-tools package to Fedora Atomic.
Could somebody please advise/help me with the process involved to get open-vm-tools package in Fedora Atomic?
Thanks in advance,
Ravindra
