I had no problem using the unstable branch for "util-vserver". I needed it, because the sarge-versions are simply too old. I compiled a vanilla-kernel (2.6.12.6) with the patch-2.6.12.4-vs2.0.diff. I did this the traditional way, but the "debian-way" (make-kpgk) should work too. That way you have your packaged kernel (but I guess you knew that ;) ). Btw: I used the original config from debian (/boot/config.xxx). Then I compiled the sources from debian-sid for util-vserver. You can find a short summary here: http://linux-vserver.org/util-vserver+on+sarge Using "apt-get -t unstable" should work too, but I preferred compiling it myself. When a new version comes out, I simply patch a new kernel and make new packages from sid's sources and "dpkg -i" them. > To much decisions to make ...what's wise to do?
