if i use vserver build with its rsync options it makes the /etc/vserver/guest directory for me just like any other build using vserver. are you using rsync by itself? maybe thats why. the vserver application automatically makes the /etc/vserver/guest areas for anything as far as i know. i noticed you mention /etc/vserver/guest/apps you use other files besides style and mark? i many times use mtab for certain things but i just copy a 'template' mtab file in. since most of my guests are not cookie-cutter i usually have to modify the settings in the /etc/vserver config area anyway so its no big deal to copy/modify capability files, mtab,add name to interfaces etc. i have never gotten into different pkg mgt systems and have never used them to build a guest, only to update its own files internally. i suppose i am 'far behind the times', but i treat each guest as its own server and run the updates internally etc. (doesn't get me in trouble that way :) ). > The builds using rsync are going well but this has created a bit of a > problem.
