ddb.virtualHWVersion is hardcoded
It is important that ddb.virtualHWVersion is updated to at least v9, and ideally, made configurable.
This line https://github.com/imcleod/VMDK-stream-converter/blob/dafa07986470bba8644a44601d7f57b8b40c9f9e/VMDKstream.py#L79 needs to say 9 at least; probably 11 is a more current value, tracking supported VMWare versions. 14 is very latest.

See how this article indicates HW Version 9 - https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/52085
@breillyr FYI
Could we have a new build spun if a release can be made? Fedora currently is at VMDKstream-0.3-6.fc27.noarch but neither 28/rawhide contain updated RPM.
There you go #11
Commenting to add a +1 to @dtoubelis solution. I was coming here to propose a similar solution. ESX 7 uses 13 and ESX 6.5 uses 11.
@j5awry These changes are in master
on our fork and the fork is maintained (we use it in our CI/CD for building our OVA images). Feel free to use it until this is merged.
