I'm not too worried about pre-98 at the moment... I'm mostly
concerned about my ability to test this-- for example, I've got
the fix for bug 3508 coming up and I'll need to be able to test
zones for that. Maybe you can help me to get the UUID bits onto
my system somehow? Or can I fake up the UUIDs I need somehow?
Anyway, this looks fine to me. I think it's most important to have
something to experiment with, and then improve it. We can work on
attach/detach going forward.
One thing which tripped us up which I'd like you to test before
putback: does package install/uninstall work inside the zone...? We've
had that break recently and I wouldn't want to regress it again.
Once you think you're ready, send me the 'hg export' in private and
I'll commit it to the gate for you.
Thanks again!
