One of the initial Core Team’s first action items is to establish the rules for how future Core Team and project members will be selected. The various VMware Tools downloads are located under the packages folder for each version upto and including 11.1.0.

We are currently seeking contributors for all aspects of the project, and additions to the Core Team will be chosen from the most active contributors. The project has a Core Team, similar to the other various BSD projects. One of the key aspects of the project is to enable interested Mac OS X developers to be able to retrieve, modify, build, and distribute operating system changes. The goal of the OpenDarwin project is to provide resources for open source developers to interact and produce products for Apple’s Mac OS X. Like most modern operating systems, OpenDarwin employs a built-in kernel debugger to help the developers find kernel bugs. It should be noted that the OpenDarwin project is fully independent of Apple, and has complete control over it’s own code, though they generally try to stay compatible with Apple’s own software. Many of the OpenDarwin developers are Apple employees, whereas others are not. The OpenDarwin developers use a version control system called Concurrent Versions System (CVS to manage changes to the OpenDarwin source code. Note: On ESXi hosts, for guest operating systems that do not have the necessary VMware Tools ISOs bundled, users must set up the ProductLockerLocation variable on all the VMware Tools ISO images to manage. Apple benefits from the project because development in OpenDarwin is often incorporated into Darwin releases and the open source community benefits since it is given complete control over its own operating system. VMware Tools installer from darwin.iso does not proceed with installation on MAC OS X guest operating systems versions earlier than 10.11. The goal of the OpenDarwin project, founded in April 2002, is to create an independent branch of the Darwin operating system that increases collaboration between Apple developers and the open source community.

OpenDarwin – a freely available, multi-platform Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) / Mach 3.0 kernel-based UNIX-like operating system. The last version | Released: 7.2.1 | July 16, 2004
