I couldn't manage to utilize any of criu features back when CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE was enabled, for reasons I don't remember and have no log files about. Unless it's proven to be working, I see no reason why we should consider re-enabling it. If you don't mind my further complaining, the correct workflow for such requests leads though the bug tracker. Additionally you need to be a TU or dev to maintain a package in the official repositories. Regards, Bartłomiej
