Hi,
Currently, I'm maintaining open-vm-tools in Fedora.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/open-vm-tools
open-vm-tools provides significant functionality for VM management
and helps in anything that requires co-ordination with the guest.
open-vm-tools package provides a sub-package open-vm-tools-desktop.
open-vm-tools-desktop is a very small package and provides integration
of VM's desktop UI with host UI or remote client UI. It is essential
for
improved user experience of the VM UI, e.g. things like copy/paste,
proper VM UI screen resolution. This package spawns a process on
each user login (the process is stopped during logout). The process
exits
gracefully if the desktop is not running on a VMware VM.
I would like to include open-vm-tools-desktop package as part of most
of the desktop package groups in Fedora by default. Could you please
help me with the process to make the necessary changes?
FYI, I'm working with Fedora group to include open-vm-tools as part
of @standard group.
It might be better to see if it can be added to @base-x , so all the
desktops would inherit it without having to list it specifically?
Keep all the vm stuff in a vm comps group so it can be filtered out on
bare metal installs + that stuff should not be default on live iso ( as
seem to be the case with Gnome which seem pull in qemu/kvm probably via
virt-manager or boxee )
