Initial announcement

Item posted by Enrico Scholz <ensc> on Tue 30 Sep 2003 09:04:40 PM UTC.

The current version has the same functionality and tools like Jacques
vserver-0.23 package and should be a drop-in replacement. It contains
some small fixes and enhancements like:



Because of the name-change, it may be necessarily for third-party tools
to create a symlink like

          ln -s util-vserver /usr/lib/vserver



Future development will:

  this directory-entry based configuration
  - the hardcoded /vservers location will disappear; the vserver root is
    now /etc/vservers/<vserver>/vdir (which is a symlink)
  - the configuration will be parseable by C programs
  - enhanced, application-specific configuration will be possible
    (e.g. the different options for rpm/apt based installations, options
    for the various distributions, a vunify-refserver, and ...)

  of the vserver and will not depend on content within the vserver. This
  is finished to 80% and in the CVS tree.

  chroot() approaches (CLONE_NEWNS), and ...


I want to thank Jacques Gelinas for his great work on the vserver package
on which my package is based on.
