Comment 5 for bug 776103

One notable change in the newer packaging is that the GUI (open-vm-toolbox) has been removed. I've commented out the lines in debian/rules to relate to the toolbox (which caused problems in the previous builds over the course of the past week). These commented lines will be removed this is all done, it's just a place holder.

I've uploaded a bzr branch (a working one, not the one we'll (or I'll) upload): https://code.launchpad.net/~n-muench/+junk/open-vm-tools-prep

I've also reopened my Virtual Test PPA (without the shared folders mount command): https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/virtual-test

I've done all can, so I need you guys to help me finish it up.

The Plan:
-I want to turn open-vm-toolbox into a transitional package for Oneiric. I'm not sure how you properly create a transitional package

Notes (I've tried it, but open-vm-toolbox doesn't install, everything else upgrades successfully):
-I can compile the kernel modules successfully (meaning I get no error, even with the issues with open-vm-toolbox in it's current form)
-Auto Screen Resize doesn't work properly after the upgrade (might be an issue with open-vm-toolbox). xrandr doesn't work to resize, even if your root.
