description |
There is a new Upstream version available.
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-10.3.0
We should at least merge 2:10.2.5-1+b1 from Debian.
And might go for 10.3 of above then - needs to be checked if it triggers any major issues. |
[Impact]
* Without SRUing the never version users get issues running on more
recent hypervisors.
* This is not backporting a single fix, but the version of a latter
Ubuntu release
[Test Case]
* TL;DR is "use open-vm-tools" but that can be quite complex for the
variety of potential Host versions.
* VMWare already tested this from [1] for Bionic and Cosmic and called it
good.
* We tried upgrading and the setup that I had available, everybody that
has different setups is invited to test theirs.
* I'd recommend to give this some extra time in -proposed to see if
anybody comes up with issues on this.
[Regression Potential]
* It is a new version which might contain new issues, and other than in
most MRE cases this isn't a just a stable-release (Of courese we are
not switching major releases, but also no pure fix release).
* As agreed back when processing bug 1741390 the real verification of
open-vm-tools for having the test matrix and project ownership is on
VMWare which verified this from [1] already.
[Other Info]
* After bug 1741390 was sort of first of its kind last cycle this now is
the first on the agreed regular updates not only into new -dev releases
but also as SRU to the latest LTS under [2] "Long Term Support releases
we regularly want to enable new hardware" being "virtual hardware" in
this case.
