[Cesare Tirabassi]

Please update to vmware-player v2.0 build 45731

Release notes: http://www.vmware.com/support/player2/doc/releasenotes_player2.html

[Jay Camp (jayc)]

I've already submitted an updated package to Ubuntu to be included in Feisty.

[Tsvi Mostovicz (tsvi)]

VMware player has been updated again to 2.0
please update the package.

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

I don't see any progress, when it will be available for gutsy ?

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Changed tag to needs-packaging it may get more attention that way.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Jay are you going to update it to final 2.0?

[Jonathan Jogenfors (etnoy)]

2.0 really should be included in gutsy. I am stuck with the old 1.0.2 here and would really like an upgrade.

[lefty.crupps (eljefedelito)]

This site says that theGutsy VMWare is still 1.0.2-2 :(

[Phoenix591 (phoenix591)]

it still is... any chance of it being in the gutsy repos in the next few days/weeks?

[Rocko (rockorequin)]

Is there a way of finding out the proposed release date?

I can't install it at all in Gutsy because v2 still isn't available in the repos and the dependencies for v1.0.2 are broken.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

vmware has been removed from gutsy and will not be included in hardy:

[tbjablin (tjablin)]

What's the rational for removing vmware-player?

[Félix Velasco (felix-velasco)]

Cesare, in the bug you're referencing, vmware-player 1.0.0 is removed because there's a newer 2.0 version.

    "The package is also outdated as there is a new major version (2.0) provided by VMware." (sic)

Did you make a mistake closing it, or are we moving to vmware-package?
