[Bug 776103] Re: package open-vm-dkms 2011.03.28-387002-0ubuntu2 fails to build against 2.6.39 kernels, due to missing linux/smp_lock.h

[Nate Muench]

As of right now, it looks like I'll be pushing the May release next
weekend (which is when I plan on making the proposal).  But a lot can
change until Thursday.

Like I said, I plan on pushing each new release (assuming only bug fixes
& cleanups) until the freeze.

For the first new release, I plan on removing some redundant manpages (I
know of 3 that need to be removed: vmmemctl, vmxnet3 (both now in the
kernel itself), and vmware-toolbox (removed from the package, the CLI
version is still there).  I think vmware-user should be renamed
vmtoolsd, I need someone to confirm this.  I will file a bug on this
(ETA: Mid July), just so we know/confirm what needs to be
removed/updated, in regards to the manpages, before I push the July
release (?), in time for Alpha 3.

If there is more than just bug fixes and cleanups in the June/July
release, I'll just push a second revision (to the May release),
containing the changes to the manpages.
