This is the result of 'git log --pretty=oneline' for the upstream version delta.
** Description changed: + ========================================= + FFE info: + Debian unstable is on an older kernel than natty's, so older open-vm-dkms kernel modules can compile. Unfortunately its version is too old and will not compile on natty. The changes cannot be easily cherrypicked because they appear to be intermingled with changes to the user-kernel interface. + + Therefore, in the interest of stability, we are requesting the merge of the latest upstream 'git tag'. Several dupes of this bug are posted every week, sometimes several per day. It is possible that there are bugs in the merged code, but as the current package is uninstallable, it seems best to merge the newer release so we can address such bugs. + ========================================= Binary package hint: open-vm-tools installing on a freshly built vm, from 2011.02.28 daily build.
