A recent threat on the lxc-users reminded me that I'm lacking a few templates for testing under LXC. OpenVZ has a number of prebuilt containers (like CentOS) for download which some people (myself) have used to create containers where we don't have prebuilt templates or the lxc-templates we have do not function cross-distro.
For example... On a Fedora host, I can create an Ubuntu container, thanks to deboot. On an Ubuntu host, I can create a Fedora container using feboot. I don't see an equivalent for Arch on either. I can tell you that trying to create an Arch container on Fedora host will fail miserably trying to use lxc-create. That template seems to be strictly like-on-like, which is sad. There is no Arch template in OpenVZ to even give me a start, so I'm out of luck there. How do we bootstrap an Arch system with packman on a system which does not have packman? Anyone with an Arch container prebuilt template they could share? Regards, Mike -- Michael H.
