FYI - I completed 10.2 into Bionic now, it was in proposed and will soon be available there.
But the backport to Xenial drove me nuts (for stupid reasons), and since I can't even qualify it for the SRU I gave up the backport for not. Yes for a xenial-backports only upload it would not be "that much" qualification needed. But still I'd not like to ship it untested. Several people are going on with an discussion if/who/how to provide newer versions of this into older releases. But things are going (very) slow and it seems other than me (and you) nobody really wants/likes it and considers things good as they are :-/ For the question you could ask to vmware (so that it comes from different angles) I think it would be: "if one would provide an Ubuntu ppa with such a backport, would vmware be willing to qualify this against their current set of supported vmware versions and post that on a bug like this?" Because without that offer all my work for a backport would be kind of in vain as no one would release it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1741390 Title: Package two years out of date To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1741390/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
