@Nate,
Yeah, a number of the added depends and recommends lead back to X stuff.
Here's the added ones that do, as far as I can tell:
- Requires:
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
libgtk2.0-0
libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a
libice6
libx11-6
libxcomposite1
libxext6
libxi6
libxinerama1
libxrandr2
libxss1
libxtst6
- Recommends:
xauth
xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
xserver-xorg-video-vmware
I think a separate package is probably how this needs to end up, I
agree. I'm not sure if it could be purely a dummy package - would any
of this stuff brought in from the old toolbox package cause problems on
a system with no X11 present? (Heck, if they don't, then a single
unified package would work just fine.)
/etc/vmware-tools/xautostart.conf
/etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop
/usr/bin/vmware-xdg-detect-de
/usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr/libdesktopEvents.so
/usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr/libdndcp.so
/usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr/libresolutionSet.so
/usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr/libunity.so
The best 'shape' of that eventual solution as far as packages and their
names, I'm not sure on.
open-vm-tools for CLI // open-vm-tools-gui for GUI
open-vm-tools for CLI // open-vm-toolbox for GUI
open-vm-tools-cli for CLI // open-vm-tools for GUI
open-vm-tools-cli for CLI // open-vm-tools-gui for GUI
open-vm-tools-nox for CLI // open-vm-tools for GUI
I'm really not sure what naming scheme would be the most Ubuntu-
appropriate, but I'd personally have no complaint with any of those
variants.
