Hi!
Which qjail should I use, qjail 4.7 or qjail2 2.2? Does the qjail
project have any documentation apart from
http://qjail.sourceforge.net/?
qjail, as qjail2 is a non-longer updated version of qjail, as
far as I understand.
Both have some recent changes in their respective SVN branches:
https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/qjail
https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/qjail2
And both don't seem to have received too many updates recently.
For your info www.freshports.org is really not the official place to
inquire about freebsd ports. The content of your post shows you got
incorrect info.
If you had read the SVN "long description" of qjail2 you will see this
"This is the last version that handles both the 8.x and 9.x install
media formats." Thats why it has no updates. Its just a version of
qjail that has been frozen in time to support the old format of
install media for freebsd versions that reach EOL in December this year.
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/qjail2/pkg-descr?revision=HEAD
The "long description" of qjail says this
"This qjail version is not intended for RELEASES older than
RELEASE-10.0."
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/qjail/pkg-descr?revision=HEAD
And if you check the qjail change log you will see qjail does indeed
have resent updates.
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/qjail/?view=log
So to answer your original question.
The documentation is installed with qjail when qjail is installed.
As far as to what version to install is totally dependent on which
version of Freebsd your running on your host.
For 9.3 and older use qjail2. For 10.0 and newer use qjail. The SVN
"long description" is real clear about that.
Sorry, but I will have to disagree with "The SVN 'long description' is
real clear about that.". If it was real clear then I wouldn't bother
asking on this list and taking your time and others. BTW the svnweb
links you posted show exactly the same messages as freshports, and I
didn't say that qjail doesn't have recent updates. I said that both of
them have been updated recently.
I read the note "This is the last version that handles both the 8.x and
9.x install media formats." but apparently understood it differently
than intended. First of all, I don't know what is a media format,
especially 8.x and 9.x media format. Since I don't use one my take on
that was that it's not applicable to me. Since that version of qjail
supports something that I don't care about, I just look at the remaining
of the message, which is the same for both versions, hence the confusion.
I also read the note for qjail that it "is not intended for RELEASES
older than RELEASE-10.0.", which is fine since I run release 10.3.
So here you go, there is qjail2 that supports some exotic media format,
and qjail that supports FreeBSD RELEASE-10.0 and newer. How should I go
about deciding which one to use?
It would certainly help if:
- the version of qjail supporting legacy systems was named qjail0
rather than qjail2
- or the version of qjail supporting FreeBSD RELEASE-10.0 was named
qjail3 (or qjail4 since 4 is its minor revision now)
- or/and the message for qjail2 simply stated:
"This version supports FreeBSD RELEASE 8.x and 9.x. For RELEASE 10.0 and
newer use qjail."
Many thanks for the clarification.
Grzegorz
