advantages, chief of which is that it doesn't hose over multi-interface
configurations the way the default installation did before. This
mechanism "chains" the guest's interface to an interface specified at
installation-time (it can be changed afterwards by editing the rc.d
script).
Approved by: (maintainer)
- Add support for FreeBSD bridging facility. To use it, you need a
kernel built with `options BRIDGE'.
- Integrate vmnet and if_tap code into vmmon module.
- Install vmmon/vmnet1 pseudo-device nodes under /compat/linux/dev
instead of /dev
- Set TMPDIR to /var/tmp if empty.
- Change MAINTAINER back to Vladimir N. Silyaev <vns@delta.odessa.ua>,
now he is back and being active. :)
- vmware-sniffer and vmware-wizard were changed. (details unknown)
- vmmon/vmnet/vmppuser sources were unchanged, however, some of the
binaries (for Linux) seems have recompiled. That would not affect
us because we compile them from source.
Fix configure script to return zero on exit.
I've tested this version for several hours and found it pretty stable,
which means this "release" version could handle the situations which
RC versions never could.
If you suffer any problems with it, feel free to report the situations
in detail at the freebsd-emulation list.
Set MAINTAINER to <ak@freenet.co.uk> and mention the freebsd-emulation list.
emulators/vmware2:
Set MAINTAINER to <knu@FreeBSD.org> and mention the freebsd-emulation list.
Include the checksum of the 2.0.1-546 beta's distfile in files/md5 for those
who want to test it.

environment variables properly to run VMware, instead of installing it
as a symbolic link to ${PREFIX}/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.
Suggested by: Frank Mayhar <frank@exit.com>
Add $FreeBSD$ on the top of the Hints.FreeBSD file.
Add a link to the official VMware Product FAQ page.
- Remove post-install information from DESCR's.
- Replace /usr/local with ${PREFIX} in DESCR's and MESSAGE's.
- Remove unnecessary whitespace.
Pointed out by: portlint
- Mention full screen graphics mode works though it'll need due care not
to enter full screen text mode.
- Wording: vmware -> VMware
- Wording: tmpfs -> MFS
- Correspond to VMware 2.0 Build 476 release (not beta)
- Support SMP kernel
- Install VMware tools floppies (for Windows and Linux)
- Add Hints.FreeBSD
- Mention my unofficial `rtc' port on post-install
- Raw disk may not work for the present
- etc.
Enjoy it!
- Make portlint satisfy
- Avoid creating files out of WRKDIR
- Remove the void directory "patch" (What ever was this?)
- Adjust whitespace
- Fix some ungrammatical wordings
- Modify COMMENT and DESCR
- Drop fakeprocfs support due to the import of Linux procfs to the base system
- Show MESSAGE after installation
- Change maintainer to the -emulation list because:
- Vladimir seems too busy or unreachable these days
- This port depends very much on Linux compatibility stuff
- Get it to check if the system has Linux procfs module and stop if not
PR: ports/16960 (add WWW to DESCR)
No response by: maintainer
- remove [buggy] dependencies from linuxprocfs port, when this
port doesn't exist in a system (it's a common situation, because
linuxprocfs port isn't included in the official port tree).
- remove Makefiles.inc.xxx at cleanup stage
- added message about loading kernel modules
- added warning when vmware runned with not super-user id
