[oe] [meta-oe][PATCH v2] 00/17] new recipe v2: open-vm-tools recipe

[Martin Kelly]

Hi all,

This is version 2 of a patch series to add a new recipe for Open VM Tools to
meta-oe. This recipe is invaluable for using Openembedded with VMWare, as
without the tools, performance is very slow.

More information about Open VM Tools can be found here:

https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools

Please note that, as mentioned in the first commit, this recipe is modified
from the recipe originally found in the Open-Switch repository. The first
patch is directly from that repository, and the following patches are
modifications to it.

Original recipe: https://github.com/open-switch/ops-build
yocto/openswitch/meta-foss-openswitch/recipes-extended/open-vm-tools/open-vm-tools_10.0.5.bb
Commit 9008de2d8e100f3f868c66765742bca9fa98f3f9

Although the original recipe packaging was Apache-licensed, I received
permission from the author (Diego Dompe) to relicense it under the MIT license
for inclusion in meta-openembedded:
