[opensuse-packaging] Request for Co_Maintainer (open-vm-tools)

Hi everybody (this timeespecially @novell/@suse)

I'm on the lookout for a co-maintainer of one of my packages in OBS. The goal
actually would be to get the package in the base distribution, out of OBS. As
Stephan Kulow told me, this would not be difficult (for him / the project), if
some internal packager agrees to co-maintain the package with me. I would say I
make the packages in OBS and once ready, you can check them in to your system,
if you agree. Any errors in the packages you're welcome to report directly to
me (via bugzilla and assign to me or by mail).

I'm talking about the open-vm-tools, they can currently be found in
home:dimstar project (and were requested by users to be included). I just
upgraded (together with an internal dev from vmware, they are quiet supportive)
the bundle to support kernel 2.6.25 (tested with rc5). It just does not build
for i586 in OBS for the moment (expansion errors on kernel-syms, but that's a
Factory owb problem, not of 'my' package).

so the question in short: is there anybody that would be willing / ready to
work with me on this package, to have it included in openSUSE 11.0? We're still
in time before feature freeze and I guess it should be possible to have it
integrated.

Thank you veyr much for your help! I'm sure the tools would be a great addition
to be installed by default on openSUSE on every VMWare installation. We can
only support our users with it.

Dominique
