User namespaces are not enabled in all the distributions yet (there was mention of security issues and incompatibility with lots of filesystems last I heard) and will lock Tup out of any system using a kernel older than 3.8 (e.g., RHEL 5 and Ubuntu < 13.04) and later depending on when further filesystem support was merged. I'd at least not rip out the old way when using user namespaces. --Ben -- -- tup-users mailing list email: tup-users@googlegroups.com unsubscribe: tup-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com options: http://groups.google.com/group/tup-users?hl=en --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tup-users" group.
