If you want to apply some backported fixes, please let us know first. for clarity sake, it's not about 'backporting' fixes, it's about completely replacing the existing open-vm-tools upstream version with another one. Why do you want to replace a recent version of open-vm-tools (which usually comes with a LOT of bugfixes by a pretty old version just to introduce the removed module again? It seems you're not willing to maintain this package properly, otherwise you'd look at your git repository (I'm sure it contains upstream's git, too) and revert the commit(s) which removed the vmmemctl module. Then - if you would care - would update the module to the latest version on kernel.org. And then you would test your changes properly on a VMware installation. Yes, I'm talking about proper testing, for example in some VMs on a ESX machine. Oh, you don't have ESX? I heard you can download it for free, at least for testing purposes. No hard tasks, so I fail to understand why we always run into RC bugs whenever we look at a new version of this package. I'd suggest you give the maintenance of open-vm-tools to somebody who actually cares about it. Or has the proper time to do so. - -- Bernd ZeimetzDebian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.dehttp://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNB+W9AAoJEOs2Fxpv+UNfbvkQAL8ttFctD7DfcG4O2RzP0uyV 8sl8Nl+8fxM2lmuKPVvkH3BDjSDF3Da930Ezr29GAAnBPi3X+wDGNee1CuIPaa2+ QqKwoeEi4279E1TJ54oY8VLzrcNX2GXAvzrq9iJpKJnkkZzHHOz0vmi5M0CrdMtW a1qif8EhTKtrI85CGPrlknl9QnH4wOMPQ+CjjDkTwsifY3atytbw4dBhMDtQ7KR5 JmU2kb0C3ASPm8iA5lgc7GjgTagguE0EtV94ckjhY/m1oa2HQNqmqZIBJHmBIs6b 4azR9N0Sx2/kTq96Q9xt5+qqWI72in5Tz2bKoqYPXo0k6sp2aSQSOeWW+1ReaO45 J6/YQIDVLsZWBLSot6W4Epg237gsjsRuxXWTehIoMqBYAN4wKA6eVzxF7vauu7Zn HPUvyUWAyCdMgG4wR6uniO+iW7faQ5wihzSGXfm00tZHFYKSlGV/uAw6o9+8B1Dg xI7QaIGGtI6o2hwoyVBckq9U+/3kqddqoOsxrmL3b5zSEqfeWZv0JN83o8szO9ub yPKSEq13ycRr0RElgxfNDK2slDDi6gt/pv7kERQEy5FmGV1JWKM6A3xSMP3hJSBG zQMO6ZP693kwGKyi2hGnibJOdfQalrrNFT1FHVLQ45UFIGWvTU89JFDVkdKcm6cF xmnNVhSFK98GnhHMQhN+ =7NVl -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Please provide vmmemctl on Squeeze machines regarding open-vm-tools, according to release managers policy for unblocks, this is not possible anymore in the current state of the release. I dissagree with the severity adjustment (but leave it untouched for now). I do belive that this issue needs to be / should be fixed in Sqeeze before the release. Thus I am Cc'ing the release team so we get their input on this. Not having vmmemctl (or vmw_balloon, the new name) in Squeeze means that memory management will be broken within VMs on for VMWare hosts. This is IMHO unacceptable.
