Yes, it has been first included in 3.9rc1 [2]. So it will be in Fedora 19 first and backported to Fedora 18 3.9.x kernels. It might be that eventually it will make its way into RHEL. > open-vm-tools could integrate "as if" the Fedora repos, but its support > would be very limited. I agree, but I'm also convinced that this should go in the repositories. When new kernel modules will be integrated, the functionality will start working. I'm installing it right now the latest spec file on some Fedora guests in our environment, will let you know what can I do with it. If at least it can fill the guest information in the VMware console like ip address, shutdown, etc. I think it's a big win. Both for Fedora and RHEL. What do you think? Will let you have some feedback in a few minutes.
