Hello @oliverkurth ,

I recently came across your RFP on the mentors.debian.net.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1042360
And i made a package for the latest release before seeing this pull request.

The package is waiting for a review at the moment
https://mentors.debian.net/package/open-vmdk/)/package/open-vmdk/

I'm not sure what you would prefer for open-vmdk. I could remove the request if you prefer to upload it yourself.
Or if you any notes about the packages i made.

Thanks.

Nice! I almost don't remember the RFP, I thought it wasn't going to be addressed.

The package is waiting for a review at the moment https://mentors.debian.net/package/open-vmdk/)/package/open-vmdk/

There's a typo in the URL, correct seems to be https://mentors.debian.net/package/open-vmdk/ . Where can I see your changes? Do I need to login?

I didn't intend to upload to Debian, I do not think I have the bandwidth for maintenance. I created this so I can build it for my dev machine which runs Ubuntu, and maybe it's useful for others too. But it would be great to have it in Debian proper!

I'll have a look at your version, as soon as I am able to.

You're right, sorry about the typo in the link.
You don't need to login to see the files for the packages.
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/open-vmdk/

In there you have

• the description file
• the orig.tar.gz - the open-vmdk original tar file
• open-vmdk_0.3.12-1.debian.tar.xz - the debian files

You can use this to download all the files with one command

dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/open-vmdk/open-vmdk_0.3.12-1.dsc

I'll continue with the debian process and maintain it when it gets accepted!
The version I uploaded cannot be updated until the review but maybe I'll make some changes after.
I didn't think about packaging ovfenv when I made it but it would be a nice addition.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it.
