Hi all, 

I'm the only dev left in the vmware team who is taking care of VMware 
Workstation and friends. Or more precisely, not taking care of it these days, 
since my non-Gentoo workload is increasing and since VMware Workstation is not 
really the highest thing on my Gentoo priority list either (though I use it 
regularly). 

We could really need some help here... Things to do are e.g.
* vmware-workstation, vmware-player, vmware-modules major version bump
* tracking and applying patches to vmware-modules for newer kernels
* sorting out the screwed-up bundled library situation
... :(

We have an overlay that can be used and is used for user contributions. 

The only real alternative is to treeclean and tell people to use the bundled 
installer. No idea how well this works.

Talk to me if interested...

Best, 
Andreas
