Backport open-vm-tools to focal, jammy and noble once the update for oracular has been completed.
<List exact versions being upgraded from and to for each release>
[Impact]
TBD
<List bug links to former cases of SRU backports for this package>[Major Changes]
TBD
[Test Plan]
<Link to wiki SRU backport page>TBD
[Regression Potential]
Upstream has an extensive build and integration test suite. So regressions would likely arise from a change in interaction with Ubuntu-specific integrations, such as in relation to the versions of dependencies available and other packaging-specific matters.

Backport open-vm-tools to jammy and noble once the update for oracular has been completed.
jammy: 2:12.3.5-3~ubuntu0.22.04.1 -> 2:12.4.5-1ubuntu0.22.04.1
noble: 2:12.3.5-5build3 -> 2:12.4.5-1ubuntu0.24.04.1
Stable release exception: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#open-vm-tools
[Impact]
* Without SRUing the never version users get issues running on more
recent hypervisors.
* This is not backporting a single fix, nor an MRE, but backporting the
version of a latter Ubuntu release for platform enablement.
* See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenVMToolsUpdates for more details
[Test Plan]
* VMWare QA Team does the qualification of these uploads as we don't have
a matrix of Host versions for that around. Once made available in -proposed
and passing build time tests the Server team will reach out to VMware to to
run their verification harness against the new build and confirming that
with a statement on the bug.
* As an additional safety net we want to keep this in -proposed longer
than usual, suggesting >=14 days.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* It is a full new version which might contain new issues, but also
new fixes and we've had cases where this brought CVE coverage before
we needed backports for those. Still, worst you'd expect all that you
expect on a release-upgrade like deprecated features gone, handling
configuration differently or in general behaving differently by adding
(even wanted) new features.
Gladly the toolset has proven to be very stable at all that.
[ Other Info ]
* Mostly regressions seen on those backports would be the same as seen on
an upgrade to a new Ubuntu version with the new version of open-vm-tools.
Hence, unless other reasons like a former delay or an urgent need
cause a change, we try to do this early in the Ubuntu cycle backporting
the version released just recently.
For example the version that will go out with 24.10 is expected to be
proposed for 24.04 shortly, but after 24.10 is released so that we'd have
a chance to pick those regression reports up.
