  Description     : utility for building Vmware related Debian packages

This package provides the capability to create Debian packages for
various VMware products and related software by obtaining VMware
tarballs and then just running make-vmpkg.

It can currently build Debian packages for the following VMware and
VMware related products:

  * VMware kernel modules for Linux, using the vmware-any-any tarball

It is planned to extend make-vmkg to build Debian packages for the
following VMware products:

  * VMware Player 1.0.2

Please note that you need to download the corresponding tarballs
yourself, and that the resulting .deb files are non-free and
non-distributeable.

The package is meant to aid a local admin to roll out VMware products
to their local systems by means of the packaging system.

Greetings
Marc
