Hm. Well I personally actually do end up using those often - I create a container; quickly build a new version of a package; do a test; re-install from /var/cache/apt/archives to do another test; etc. But that's not to say mine shouldn't be a special case, with the default being to save space. Do you mind opening a bug against the ubuntu package for that? (http://pad.lv/u/lxc) I've got another small template fix to push anyway. (I'll post the patch to lxc-devel when done.) Thanks for the suggestion. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
