CentOS virt - Jan 2010 - Recent version of open-vm-tools SRPM??

I want to create some rpms to install the open-vm-tools on my CentOS
5.4 servers.   I have not been able to find any srpms that are of
recent vintage (The most recent I have found uses the version of
open-vm-tools released in Dec. 2008).

Before I spend a lot of time building a new srpm, I thought I would
ask if anyone has already done this...

Thanks,
   David

I started doing some work long time ago. You can find it here:

http://centos.toracat.org/misc/open-vm-tools/5/

The kmod package is kABI-tracking, and I was thinking of offering it
through the ELRepo project (http://elrepo.org).

I currently do not have the time to push it forward. I think your
effort would be greatly appreciated by the community. Of course, I
will provide any help you may need.
