--- Comment #28 from Simone Caronni <negativo17@xxxxxxxxx> ---
I installed the tools in some Fedora 17 and 18 guests, I have IP information
reporting, Guest OS (it is named Fedora! Yay!) and I can power off / restart
the guest cleanly with the vCenter console.

I think it's a great addition even with an incomplete set of drivers. One could
always opt to use the source tarball in VMware ESX or the VMware official
packages (http://www.vmware.com/download/packages.html)

Adding RHEL is not much effort and I'm offering myself as co-mantainer.

Here is an updated package along with a patch to your previous file. Included
is:

- The SysV init script
- RHEL conditionals for 5 and 6
- A text file with the description of the drivers needed / used
- Renamed the service and Sysv init script from "open-vm-tools-guestd" to
"vmtoolsd", the command is really too long and not intuitive
- %defattr is still there as I don't know if it's needed for RHEL 5.

SPEC File URL: http://slaanesh.fedorapeople.org/open-vm-tools.spec
SRPM URL: http://slaanesh.fedorapeople.org/open-vm-tools-9.2.2-5.fc18.src.rpm

patch from previous spec file:
http://slaanesh.fedorapeople.org/open-vm-tools.spec.patch

text file with driver status:
http://slaanesh.fedorapeople.org/open-vm-tools-drivers.txt

Can you give me some feedback?

Thanks,
--Simone
