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.

After base commit 2587b74c6187, which removed NDF_ONLY_PNBUF,
emulators/open-vm-tools fails to build, with:
--- vfsops.o ---
vfsops.c:190:16: error: use of undeclared identifier 'NDF_ONLY_PNBUF'; did you mean 'NDFREE_PNBUF'?
NDFREE(ndp, NDF_ONLY_PNBUF);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NDFREE_PNBUF
/usr/src/sys/sys/namei.h:291:6: note: 'NDFREE_PNBUF' declared here
void NDFREE_PNBUF(struct nameidata *);

Indeed, NDFREE_PNBUF() should now be used.

After src commit 66c5fbca7719dca1ac361a010fa511a4514a662d, insmntque1()
changed to have only 2 arguments, breaking open-vm-tools.
Added a patch to call the new version on recent current and call
destructor to make sure it runs.

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.

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.

For the most part this is just to track upstream for FreeBSD.
In particular 10.2.0 introduced a regression whereby UFS support
was dropped. The fix was backported to the FreeBSD port of 10.2.0
in lieu of waiting for 10.2.5 to be released.

Improvements include:
- Improved OS detection and reporting for FreeBSD 11 and 12.
- Improved networking resume for DHCP FreeBSD guests.
- Check for Xen, VirtualPC etc., only if VMware not detected.
- Improve timesync when the offset is large.

The current port patches for os_kmem_alloc() add VM object locking.
However, the lock is not unlocked in the success case because the
unlock code is inside of an if body instead of after the if statement.

Make it possible to disable the rc scripts.
Still default to enabled, but only when checkvm says we are in a VM.
While here, improve scripts slightly.

sysctl_add_oid was changed in base/head@r310051 to take a label parameter,
and open-vm-tools doesn't supply it as it depends on the old KPI signature.
SYSCTL_ADD_OID doesn't require the label parameter since its inception
though, thus it's a backwards compatible solution for adding sysctl oids.

Gnome 3.14.1 and Cinnamon 2.2.16 are supported on FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE and up.
This commit removes the old GNOME 2 desktop, bindings and some ports that
can't be compiled. A few ports where updated to more recent versions to
allow them to compile with this update.
Apart from updating ports to newer versions
GDM is more integrated with gnome-shell now, and handles several things for
the GNOME desktop such as screen locking. If you want to use GNOME 3 via
startx, you will have to add your own lock screen/screensaver. For example xscreensaver
can be used for sessions started without GDM.
Shell Extensions can be installed via https://extensions.gnome.org/ , we have
ported a few that can't be installed via this way.
The old gnome-utils and gnome-games ports where split up into single ports
and where converted to meta-ports.
gnome-terminal requires a UTF-8 locale to run, gdm handles this already, but
if you use startx you need to do this yourself.
Upgrade instructions:
Delete the old and conflicting packages:
# pkg delete clutter gnome-utils gnome-panel gnome-keyring vala-vapigen \
guile gcalctool gnome-media libgnomekbd
# pkg delete gnome-screensaver gnome-applets bug-buddy evolution-exchange \
evolution-webcal gnome-system-tools seahorse-plugins gnome-control-center
For package users the following lines will be enough:
# pkg upgrade
# pkg install gnome3
For ports users should do the following:
# portmaster -a
# portmaster x11/gnome3
We are currently aware of two issues. The first issue is a bug in the
file monitoring code in the glib20 port. This bug causes glib programs
to crash when files in a monitored directory are added or removed.
Upstream is aware of the problem, but since the problem is quite complex
there is no solution yet. This problem isn't restricted to BSD.
The second issue is that on certain video cards totem will display a
purple/pink overlay on the video. It not clear yet where the issues
comes from.
Major thanks goes to Gustau Perez for being a driving force behind getting
GNOME 3 up to speed again. Also thanks to Antoine Brodin for running the exp-runs.
