To enable Vmware Workstation Server in systemd

[d93921012]

To enable Vmware Workstation Server in systemd, I modified the vmware-workstation-15.0.2.10952284-r2.ebuild. The differences are as follows.

File shutdown-autostart-vm.sh

if [ "x" != "x${HOHO_ADMIN}" ]; then
    /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-vim-cmd -U "${HOHO_ADMIN}" hostsvc/autostartmanager/autostop
fi

The changes are summarized as follows.

• Put the systemd services in files folder instead of downloading them.
• Create vmware-workstation-server.target, and move vmware-authentication.service from vmware.target to vmware-workstation-server.target.
• Create vmware-hostd.service to start hostd service, and create two scripts, which are invoked by this service, to check certificates and shutdown autostart VMs.
• Use systemctl command instead of rc-service commands In configure-hostd.sh.
• Create libvmware-vim-cmd.so link to libvmware-hostd.so to make vmware-vim-cmd work.

Do you still need this, now that the server was removed from version 16?

Server has been removed in version 16
