[Merge] lp:~n-muench/ubuntu/raring/open-vm-tools/open-vm-tools.fix-1088053+december.merge into lp:ubuntu/raring-proposed/open-vm-tools

[Nate Muench (Mink)]

The proposal to merge lp:~n-muench/ubuntu/raring/open-vm-tools/open-vm-tools.fix-1088053+december.merge into lp:ubuntu/raring-proposed/open-vm-tools has been updated.

Description changed to:

This stops dkms from building the vmsync module.

Upstream says that the kernel takes care of this as of 3.6.  And Ubuntu's kernel has it compiled in.

UPDATE (12-21-12): Debian has started their uploads again, with the stable release.  I plan on bringing in some of those changes in the next upload.

As for uploading uploading the Stable release to Ubuntu (instead of the Devel release), maybe next cycle, I want to see how upstream is releasing their packages. See how their release ratio of Stable vs Devel is.

I don't know I did the dkms patch info correctly you can adjust it if it's needed

UPDATE (1-10-13): ONE: I've noticed that we've started uploading Linux 3.8 for Raring. I don't know if this will build on the 3.8 kernel.
TWO: I've also noticed Raring now supports kmod, Debian's packaging uses kmod... since last cycle. I withheld it last cycle because Quantal didn't support it.

I plan on including it in Raring on release day, but assuming how fast this gets approved.  So I can test it, as well as bring in stuff from Debian.
