Today I learned that Fedora going to support OpenVZ on top on the *stock* kernel. Looks like that requires vzctl 4.1 (Debian how has 3.0.30 ). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=866495 I'm curious if vzctl version can be updated before Wheezy release. Basically current vzctl can't be used in Wheezy because of the lack openvz compatible kernel. Can someone more aware about topic shed some light ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
