Hi,
on recent kernels the vmware-server-kernel-source module does not
compile[1]. However patched with the vmware-any-any sources it does
work.
[1] http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=712792
Currently vmware-package splits the vmware-server and vmware-any-any
in two packages. But IMHO it would be nice if id would do the patching
with vmware-any-any automatically, and build a single merged
vmware-kernel-source.tar.bz2 file which compiles cleanly.
Regards,
Bastian

any-any is not a patch (well, I think it can patch the .pl scripts for
some versions, but we don't ship those in the generated packages); it's
a full set of modified module source code that is substantially
different from the module source code shipped in official vmware
products.
thus, if you are running a supported kernel, you should probably use the
vmware modules that come with the product. otherwise, you should use
the any-any modules.
this is why vmware-server Depends on vmware-server-kernel-modules |
vmware-kernel-modules, and why vmwary-any-any-kernel-modules-* Provide
vmware-kernel-modules.
