Description: open-vm-tools was updated to version 9.2.0: + Fixes for HGFS driver to compile on newer kernels (3.6). + vmsync driver is disabled on kernels 3.0+ as vmbackup plugin uses FIFREEZE/FITHAW standard ioctls. + Fixes for Copy/Paste (and C&P is temporarily disabled on Solaris due to C++ library issues). - Rebase open-vm-tools-kernel-3.6.patch: mostly fixed upstream. - No longer build vmblock.ko: it's been obsoleted in favor of vmblock-fuse. - Change vmtoolsd to use vmware-vmblock-fuse instead of vmblock.ko, using the new mount point /var/run/vmblock-fuse. - Add fuse Requires, as we now use vmblock-fuse.
