out of date. Now the tools are provided via https://developer.broadcom.com/tools/open-virtualization-format-ovf-tool/latest

and the latest version is 4.6.3 in zip format and not .bundle

mammo0's PKGBUILD build below works perfectly, thanks, mammo.

Hello,

I've modified the PKGBUILD to download ovftool directly from the VMWare servers. So, the user has not to download the *.bundle file manually before.

The modified PKGBUILD:

@muflone maybe you can add the changes to the package. Thank you :)

@btall my comments were pending for approval as I didn't started a PR review

Hello @muflone, Sorry, but I don't see any comments on the PR.

Muflone commented on 2022-10-20 22:06 (UTC)

@btall thank you for your contribution

I left you a comment in the proposed PR, could you please fix it before the merge?

btall commented on 2022-10-18 09:45 (UTC)

Hello everyone,

While waiting for the update of this package to version 4.4.3 on AUR, you can find here the pull request containing the latest PKGBUILD. https://github.com/muflone/pkgbuilds/pull/21

Enjoy :)

btall commented on 2022-10-07 21:39 (UTC)

Hello muflone,

Would you have a date to share with us regarding the update of this package to version 4.4.3? We look forward to hearing from you.

/usr/lib/vmware-ovftool/ovftool.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You probably should add libxcrypt-compat as dependency.

Also the new version 4.4.3 is available under: https://customerconnect.vmware.com/downloads/get-download?downloadGroup=OVFTOOL443
