I'll drop this dependency temporarily, and reenable it whenever the dust has settled. If you can offer a list of things that need to be done in order to get cgroups back into wheezy, I might be able to identify some aspects that I could help with -- even without any practical cgroups experience so far.

Plans to (re-)include cgroups in wheezy?
Hi, I'm trying to get Condor [0] included into wheezy. I just now realized that the cgroups package [1] which condor currently depends on is in a rather bad shape (numerous bugs, only little maintainer response, last upload a year ago, one upstream release behind). Looking at HOWTOs like [2] it seems that the overall setup of cgroups in Debian is suboptimal -- but I'm not really in the position to judge, as I have no personal experience with cgroups. However, I'd like to know if there is anybody (maintainer CC'ed) working on getting cgroups in shape and have it in wheezy (Squeeze came with cgroups support BTW). If there is not such effort, I'll probably disable Condor's cgroups features for now, as it would take me too long to get up to speed with cgroups before the upcoming freeze.

Setup should (?) probably be handled by initscripts. See #601757. However, we should also copy the set of mounts used by systemd (?). Is the proposed patch in this bug sufficient? I've not yet looked to see--I'm not familiar with cgroups, and I don't know if it's sufficiently compatible with the systemd mounts. Regards, Roger -- .''`.

You raise a good point, I am currently working on this package and I would love to see it included in Wheezy if possible. The new upstream release is actually worse for me than the previous version, so I have quite a bit to do in order to get things into shape. If Condor is still reasonably usable without support for cgroups via libcgroup, I would go that route -- at least in the short term.
