Description: #
This is the full-featured Linux version VMware toolbox for FreeBSD _Guest_ OS. Beware, this port is _not_ for FreeBSD _Host_ OS. As VMware toolbox included in VMware tools for FreeBSD is not as good as that for Linux, it lacks some useful features such as time synchronization between the virtual machine and the Host OS. That is why this port is provided. Before installing this port, make sure you have a `linux.iso' file that comes with VMware: Windows: C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\linux.iso Linux: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/isoimages/linux.iso

Welcome to the new linux ports infrastructure which allows using
both current (fc4) and future linux (f8) distributions at one
ports tree.

The patch contains full changes to ports/Mk files and all ports involved.
But only infrastructure is changed. The resulting packages are the same as
before. Hence no need to bump PORTREVISIONs.

The idea was taken from bsd.gnome.mk and others.

More than 130 ports are switched to follow a new linux infrastructure
introduced by changes to bsd.port.mk, bsd.linux-rpm.mk and a new
bsd.linux-apps.mk.

Thanks for all who was involved and helped me with this work.
And help from Alexander Leidinger was incredible.

Other changes are coming. Stay tuned!

Introducing VMware Tools for VMware Workstation 6 beta 3.

As usual, all three ports are updated after repocoping from
version 5 ports (this is why this ports is 'committed,' not 'imported.')

Note to 7-current users: vmware-guestd and other binaries requires
libc.so.6 to work.  Since there is no misc/compat6x yet, this ports
is marked as 'IGNORE' if there is no libc.so.6.
