(they BDV> will skip 2.6.17) 2.6.17 with VServer patches is getting support through Daniel (code) and me (testing / using in two different production environments and one local server which is used mainly for production and only a little for testing) on Fedora, so this can also be consider stable as soon as it is announced on the mailing list - so there's the main question: Why should it be skipped? BDV> The vserver-2.0.2-rcXX patches have some very nice fixes. It BDV> would be nice to have a 2.6.16.x-vs2.0.2 patch in the near future. For Fedora: What specially do you have in rc24 which is not existent in rc22 (2.6.16 kernel)? ;-) And though: Yes, it would be nice to have a "stable" (rc's are already quite stable though) 2.0.2 release for 2.6.16 as well, I'm with you. -- regards 'n greez, Guenther Fuchs (aka "muh" and "powerfox") _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
