Branch: CURRENT, Version: 12.4.0, Package name: open-vm-tools-12.4.0, Maintainer: agc

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.

The tools are currently composed of kernel modules for Linux and
user-space programs for all VMware supported Unix-like guest operating
systems. They provide several useful functions like:

* File transfer between a host and guest
* Improved memory management and network performance under
virtualization
* General mechanisms and protocols for communication between host
and guests and from guest to guest

Log message:
sysutils/open-vm-tools: Update to 12.4.0

open-vm-tools now supports NetBSD/aarch64. At least vmhgfs-fuse has been
confirmed to be working on this platform. vmware-user is still useless
though, because it requires either Wayland running on top of recent DRM/KMS
supporting SVGA v3 (which hasn't been ported to NetBSD as of writing) or
xf86-video-vmware, which only supports SVGA v1 and v2. VMware only provides
SVGA v3 interface on AArch64 platforms so nothing can interact with VMware
graphics aside from the standard framebuffer (via xf86-video-wsfb) at the
moment.
