The fixes between .207 and .208 are several months in the making, the best way to see all the details would be to get the latest tarball and look at the Changelog file. Lots of small bug fixes... some security fixes to the capability system (CAP_AUDIT stuff and the default behavior is to assume unknown capabilities are insecure); the barrier-code has been adjusted to work properly with the 1.2.10 patch. The code has been updated to work with the newer available patches more cleanly (in the headers etc.). Some build-time enhancements, such as checking to see if a context is already active before starting a build, removing a failed built vservers (unless an argument is passed), resulting in less cruft laying around; numeric xids are supported in vserver-info; syscalls are updated to newest versions, debootstrap status information enhanced. Some legacy problems were resolved, chroot code was enhanced.... I can't remember everything that I've seen go by in the CVS tree, but it is commonly said on the IRC channel that the .208 version is a vast improvement over .207 and whenever people come in for help and it is found out that they are using the debian packaged .207, they are immediately told to go compile and install .208. micah -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
