Hi

My personal target would be to have saltstack packaged and some
tutorials written how to use it.

As for KVM Zones. If we modify IPKG Brand and inject the appropriate
permissions and devices it should work. Although I would prefer it being
a fork of Tribblixes Sparse Brand. Also have a look into kvmadm what it
does to prepare KVM in zone setup. It has that capability but i did not
manage to make it work.

Greetings
Till
