Package: vmware-package
Version: 0.21
Severity: minor
This is a minor but annoying usability problem. The VMWare Server
Linux client package available from VMWare's site comes as a zip that
contains four other archives, including the server console itself.
Unfortunately, when given this zip directly, make-vmpkg simply
complains that it doesn't recognize it and aborts. I spent a long
time searching for VMware-server-console-1.0.4-56528.tar.gz on
VMWare's site before, on a whim, I looked inside the zip.
It would be better if make-vmpkg could at least recognize this file
and tell the user to unpack it. It would be even better if it could
simply extract VMware-server-console-1.0.4-56528.tar.gz from it on its
own.
The exact name of the latest downloadable zip is
VMware-server-linux-client-1.0.4-56528.zip
and its md5sum is
010d808baad4a87ba5931e1e8ad06351
The desired file can easily be extracted with
unzip VMware-server-linux-client-1.0.4-56528.zip
VMware-server-console-1.0.4-56528.tar.gz
