[opensuse-factory] Feature request: open-vm-tools as part of the release

Hi,
I always try new test releases in a VMware virtual machines. The
current opensuse 11.0 alpha 2 fails to compile the supplied
vmware-tools modules, as the VMware package does not support 2.6.24
kernels.

VMWare have open-sourced the tools here:
http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/

I have tried to build from these sources, and the modules build OK and
integrated in 10.0 alpha2.

So, I suggest that an rpm is build out of these sources, and included
as standard with any opensuse release, so it can flawlessly be used in
virtual machines.

Is there a better place than this mailing list to post such a feature
request? Like bugzilla, or something else?

Cheers
