ALPINE linux as guest, copy & paste not working
I can't say why Alpine Linux doesn't have that package. My guess its due to being a security focused distro it omits it because it could be seen as a security issue. If you absolutely want to use Alpine Linux you could try building it from source (https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/) or us the VMware Tools ISO: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1018414

Open-vm-tools v12.1.0
I am wondering if someone have news about the updates of the open-vm-tools package for Rocky Linux (v8.6 or 9) I am trying to update them to fix the CVE 2022-31676. They are available on github but need to be compiled manually (nightmare to maintain later in a professional env) and fedore released an rpm package as well.
