Hello, to finish some pending tasks of this year, I just released version 0.27 of util-vserver. It can be found at an interim place at
http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~ensc/util-vserver/
When savannah's functionality is recovered entirely, it will be uploaded
to the known page at
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/util-vserver/
The main new feature is the a new 'vkill' command which is using new
features of vserver 1.1.6+. Changes in detail are:
- added new 'vkill' implementation which uses the syscall from
vserver 1.1.6+.
- BUGFIX: fixed typo in vc_get_version() wrapper which caused an
infinite recursive call of this function; this should not have
affected any userspace program
- BUGFIX: 'vps' accepts multiple arguments now (from Debian patch)
- vc_ctx_kill() was added
- chrootsafe() code was removed since such a functionality seems
to be impossible
- use 'vserver' instead of 'virtual_context' as the syscall name;
this will fix problems with architectures where the syscall is not
at #273.
- BUGFIX: fixed '--enable-apis' ./configure option; formerly, only
'ALL' or none were possible
- moved some old, unused programs/scripts into a seperate 'legacy'/
directory
- BUGFIX: /dev/pts will be mounted with correct options now
- added support for Slackware's init-method (thanks to Stephen
Pearce for the patch)
- API-CHANGE: followed kernel patches and renamed 'ctx_t' datatype
to 'xid_t'.
There are known problems with Red Hat rawhide's e2fsprogs package; see
[1] for details. Calling ./configure as
| ac_cv_header_ext2fs_ext2fs_h=no ./configure ...
and using good kernel headers should workaround it.
Else, I wish everybody a happy new year
Enrico
