Description Richard W.M. Jones 2015-05-20 16:31:12 UTC
Description of problem:

It looks as if the /etc/vmware-tools and /etc/vmware-tools/scripts
directories are not included in the RPM.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

open-vm-tools-9.10.0-1.el7

How to reproduce:

$ rpm -qlp open-vm-tools-9.10.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm | grep /etc
/etc/pam.d/vmtoolsd
/etc/vmware-tools/guestproxy-ssl.conf
/etc/vmware-tools/poweroff-vm-default
/etc/vmware-tools/poweron-vm-default
/etc/vmware-tools/resume-vm-default
/etc/vmware-tools/scripts/vmware
/etc/vmware-tools/scripts/vmware/network
/etc/vmware-tools/statechange.subr
/etc/vmware-tools/suspend-vm-default

Additional info:

It seems like this is a regression vs RHEL 7.1.
