Hi all, |

I'm the only dev left in the vmware team who is taking care of VMware |
| 4 |
Workstation and friends. Or more precisely, not taking care of it these days, |
| 5 |
since my non-Gentoo workload is increasing and since VMware Workstation is not |
| 6 |
really the highest thing on my Gentoo priority list either (though I use it |
| 7 |
regularly). |

We could really need some help here... Things to do are e.g. |
| 10 |
* vmware-workstation, vmware-player, vmware-modules major version bump |
| 11 |
* tracking and applying patches to vmware-modules for newer kernels |
| 12 |
* sorting out the screwed-up bundled library situation |
| 13 |
... :( |

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 |
| 18 |
installer. No idea how well this works. |

Talk to me if interested... |
