The Open Virtual Machine Tools (open-vm-tools) are the open source
implementation of VMware Tools. They are a set of guest operating
system virtualization components that enhance performance and user
experience of virtual machines. As virtualization technology rapidly
becomes mainstream, each virtualization solution provider implements
their own set of tools and utilities to supplement the guest virtual
machine. However, most of the implementations are proprietary and
are tied to a specific virtualization platform.
This port replaces the VMware guest ports and the binary-only VMware
tools ports in the ports tree.
===> The following configuration options are available for open-vm-tools-13.1.0,2:
DEPLOYPKG=off: DeployPkg plugin
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
FUSE=on: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support
LIBNOTIFY=on: Desktop notification support
OPENSSL=on: SSL/TLS support via OpenSSL
X11=on: X11 (graphics) support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

emulators/open-vm-{tools,kmod}: split the package
Split the package to build the kmods separatly! Building separately has
multiple benefits:
1. it allows user to rebuild when they upgrade their kernel without
rebuilding all of the tools which can take a long time.
2. it allows us to provide the modules in the new kmods package
repository
3. it installs the kmods the in the same place as the regular kmods:
/boot/modules
It means we can probably get rid of the rc script in favor if letting
users use kld_list mecanism but I will let this decision to the
maintainer based on what it probably best for users.

emulators/open-vm-tools: Remove --enable-deploypkg

emulators/open-vm-tools: Add DEPLOYPKG option
Before this change, open-vm-tools port used to depend inconditionally of
libmspack, which is a requirement of DeployPkg plugin. It turns out
that configure script only enable this plugin automatically on linux, so
it was not being built and dependency was not supposed to be there.
Instead of removing bogus dependency, I decided to add DEPLOYPKG option,
used to enable that plugin and left it off by default in order to
preserve previous default behavior.
Some changes on source code were needed to make DeployPkg to build on
FreeBSD and are done by new patches, which I intend to submit upstream.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Update to version 11.1.0
In terms of functionality this update is a no-op on
FreeBSD. Some local patches were upstreamed and have
been removed from the port.
Tested matrix is ESXi 6.5 and 6.7, and Fusion.
FreeBSD HEAD, 12.1-R, 12.0-R and 11.3-R AMD64
The test plan ensures the VM power control works from
the management app, that the memory balloon driver operates
properly, and that reporting back to vCenter as far as IP
and whether the tools are installed and operational works.
In particular no i386 versions of FreeBSD were
explicitly tested, nor was any testing done on ESXi 7.0
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/stable-11.1.0/ReleaseNotes.md
The new functionality in this version of the tools is Windows/Linux
only. See the listed PR for the pieces FreeBSD needs to achieve parity.

Add USES=xorg and USES=gl to ports in categories starting with 'e' and 'g'.
While here, try to sprinkle other USES (mostly gnome and sdl) as needed.
Update to version 11.0.1
The biggest change is the removal of vmxnet from this package. This means you
*must* be using the vmx driver included in FreeBSD or your networking will fail
after this update. This is a danger for people who are running unsupported
versions
of FreeBSD but could also affect people who are running custom kernels that have
removed vmx from them.
This update reduces our patchset by taking advantage of patches submitted
upstream.

sysctl_add_oid was changed in base/head@r310051 to take a label parameter,

SYSCTL_ADD_OID doesn't require the label parameter since its inception
