2019-01-30 20:06:56 Andreas Hasenack description [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 itself took ownership of verifying these backports and will test the same bits from a PPA and the SRU for the official "ack" * We tried upgrading and the setup that I had available, everybody that has different setups is invited to test theirs. * In general I 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 we do this on a once-per-cycle schedule with bug 1784638 beign the last one. The intention is to get regular updates not only into new -dev releases but also as SRU to the latest LTS under term [2] "Long Term Support releases we regularly want to enable new hardware" being "virtual hardware" in this case.

Those bugs have individual SRU templates even thou this overall is an MRE. - bug 1807441 - bug 1814832 - bug 1818473 - bug 1804287 [1]: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3617 [2]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Other_safe_cases --- There is a new Upstream version available.   https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/releases/tag/stable-10.3.5 We left 10.3.5 some time in 19.04 to see if any issues come up, but none appeared.
