New package version released: 26H1-3
Changes:
- Reworked the packaging. xkeymap dependency is back again. Thanks for the feedback!
PLEASE NOTE: VMWare Player has been dropped by Broadcom, files do not exist anymore in the installer. Only the Workstation GUI is available starting this edition.
Enjoy!

@JulianXhokaxhiu Replace vmware-player-app/ with vmware-other-apps/ remove these 26H1-1 files was a mistake, and the redistribution is missing.
VMware-Workstation-Full-25H2u1-25219725 (`vmware-player-app/`) -> VMware-Workstation-Full-26H1-25388281 (`vmware-other-apps/`)
vmware-player-app/lib/ -> vmware-other-apps/lib/
vmware-player-app/doc/ -> vmware-other-apps/doc/
vmware-player-app/share/ -> vmware-other-apps/share/
vmware-player-app/files/ -> vmware-other-apps/files/
vmware-player-app/initinfo/ -> vmware-other-apps/initinfo/

@JulianXhokaxhiu rm -r “$pkgdir/usr/lib/vmware/xkeymap” Now this command returns an error because the no longer exists.

After the first installation, please:
1) install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s): linux-headers for default kernel, linux-lts-headers for LTS kernel...
2) reboot or load vmw_vmci and vmmon kernel modules (modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon)
3) Enable the services you need (using .service units to activate them during boot or .path units to activate them when a VM is started) :
vmware-networks: to have network access inside VMs
vmware-usbarbitrator: to connect USB devices inside VMs
