2019-05-14 07:01:42 Christian Ehrhardt  description We have released open-vm-tools 10.3.10. open-vm-tools 10.3.10 is available for download from GitHub: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/tree/stable-10.3.10 For more details and changes, please refer to the release notes at https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/stable-10.3.10/ReleaseNotes.md or the ChangeLog at: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/stable-10.3.10/open-vm-tools/ChangeLog Also filed at Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925940 Oliver [Impact] * Without SRUing the newer version users get issues running on more recent hypervisors - this is a case of [1] in the SRU policy. * Furthermore Upstream releases this as a collection of fixes which is usually worth to pick up. * 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. This time a bit safer than the last one thou, as we have already backported some bigger changes between 10.3.5 -> 10.3.10 with individual SRUs so the remaining changes should be rather safe. [Other Info] * This time this is only the MRE, no extra bugs (with extra test/verification descriptions) are associated. * As agreed back when processing bug 1741390 the real verification of open-vm-tools for having the proper test matrix and project ownership is on VMWare.
