I have tested the new vserver-debiantools in sid with kernel-2.6.12 +
vserver2 patch, it act as new method without the warnnig/error messages,
thank you very much.

 Legacy mode is what is expected in sarge. The other method was not
 tested enough to be allowed to go into stable.

But Legacy mode is not working well in sarge with linux 2.6.8.
I think a lot of warning and error messages are confusing our users and
myself, I hope at least mention this clearly in documents?

 This should not be a problem, but if you want to use the new
 method you have to use the new method.

I am using the new method in sid now, but there are lots of our users
would choose sarge for vserver and I think this is also an important
feature in sarge as well. Shall we support them by providing backports?

I have seem you have a pkg-vserver project on alioth.d.o, maybe there is
a good place to provide the backports, documentations, and I would like
to help if you don't mind.

PS. Unfortunately, seems the documentations are not very good in
util-vserver package and linux-vserver.org site, I still can't find
information for the configure files of new method.

Not sure. The problem is that I'm not allowed to update sarge with this

You do not need backports as the current version in sid work just fine
on sarge.

 I have seem you have a pkg-vserver project on alioth.d.o, maybe there is
 a good place to provide the backports, documentations, and I would like
 to help if you don't mind.

I have a backport pool at debian.opal.dhs.org as well.

 PS. Unfortunately, seems the documentations are not very good in
 util-vserver package and linux-vserver.org site, I still can't find
 information for the configure files of new method.

Agree. It is still work in progress so it is not that very strange.

 Seems I should test it in testing an unstable, all my vserver machine
 are running sarge.

If you want to have better features you have to wait until I have uploaded
a fixed version of vserver-debiantools to unstable or you have to upgrade
both vserver-debiantools and util-vserver to the ones in unstable. It 
can be a bit problematic. Expect a fix for that in the next few days.

  Possibly. But first we have to determine the exact cause of the failure.

As I told you in the previous mail you should use the other configuration
file instead.

  
  Because the file util-vserver-vars should NOT be in /etc... It was
  removed from there becuase it is changed to frequently (on every upgrade 
  actually)
  and therefor it is not suitable to have there.
  
  I'll see if I can reproduce it at my server, but if you have time to
  debug it further that would be really great!
 
 I guess I found the problem but I am not sure, because not enough
 information in the README.Debian to told me what should vserver works
 like? I guess legacy method is not you expected.

Legacy mode is what is expected in sarge. The other method was not
tested enough to be allowed to go into stable.

 All of my vserver are still running in lagacy method, I made them by
 newvserver script after I copied the util-vserver-vars to /etc/vservers.

This should not be a problem, but if you want to use the new
method you have to use the new method.

2005-07-31 Thread Ola Lundqvist
reassign 319856 vserver-debiantools
tags 319856 + sarge wontfix
thanks

Hello

I have now tried to reproduce this problem and have now come to the conclusion
that it is not a problem in util-vserver, but in vserver-debiantools.

The solution to your problem is to use the /etc/vservers/newvserver-vars
file instead for configuration. It it do not help, please let me know so
I can check if I have determined anything wrong.

Regards,

// Ola

 I install util-vserver on a fresh installed sarge 3.1 r0a.
 And it's no problem on my another machine which was upgrade from older

 Well sarge has become stable and such updates will not be allowed for

 Interesting. I have to check. It may be so that it still exist in sarge
 but has been removed from sid. It is possible.

Then you must have this file as a symlink...

Looks correct but it was a possible symlink from
/usr/lib/util-vserver/util-vserver-vars I was referring to.
That should not be a symlink (it has been so in the past) but now
it should be a normal file.

 Did you a fresh install of util-vserver, or was it an upgrade from

 I install util-vserver on a fresh installed sarge 3.1 r0a.
 And it's no problem on my another machine which was upgrade from older

Really interesting!

 Hope the informations above are helpful.

It would be nice if you could check if the
/usr/lib/util-vserver/util-vserver-vars is a file or symlink. If it
points wrong we have the answer there. But if it don't we have some
other issue. Possibly with just the sarge version and I must get
an update into the stable relase.

 Well sarge has become stable and such updates will not be allowed for

 Fix it in backports or take some notes for others, maybe. :-)

I can add backports to my own archive. That is not a problem but
users will not find it that easy. :)

/usr/lib/util-vserver/util-vserver-vars

 I can add backports to my own archive. That is not a problem but
 users will not find it that easy. :)

True, does any better way that other package maintainers do?
I've looked at debian-policy, it mentioned:

_stable_
  This is the current released version of Debian GNU/Linux.
Once the distribution is _stable_ only security fixes and other major
bug fixes are allowed.  When changes are made to this distribution, the
release number is increased (for example: 2.2r1 becomes 2.2r2 then
2.2r3, etc).

Is this bug big enough for to put an fix into stable release?

  Seems like you have upgraded from an earlier release. I do not think
  the reboot manager is here still.
 
 Do you mean this reboot manager:
 # ls /etc/init.d/rebootmgr -l
 - -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1421 May 25 04:22 /etc/init.d/rebootmgr
 
 It exist in all of my other machines too.

Interesting. I have to check. It may be so that it still exist in sarge
but has been removed from sid. It is possible.

  Then you must have this file as a symlink...
  
  zircone:~# ls -l /usr/lib/util-vserver/util-vserver-vars
  -rw-r--r--  1 root root 4398 May 22 21:21 
  /usr/lib/util-vserver/util-vserver-vars
  It would be nice if you could check if the
  /usr/lib/util-vserver/util-vserver-vars is a file or symlink. If it
  points wrong we have the answer there. But if it don't we have some
  other issue. Possibly with just the sarge version and I must get
  an update into the stable relase.
 
 It is a normal file:
 # ls -l /usr/lib/util-vserver/util-vserver-vars
 - -rw-r--r--  1 root root 4200 May 25 04:22
 /usr/lib/util-vserver/util-vserver-vars

Ok, thanks.

  users will not find it that easy. :)

Either make sure it get to unstable/testing or if it is really serious
to stable. If we can debug this further and make good fix for it it
may be possible to get it to stable as well.

 I've looked at debian-policy, it mentioned:

Possibly. But first we have to determine the exact cause of the failure.

Because the file util-vserver-vars should NOT be in /etc... It was
removed from there becuase it is changed to frequently (on every upgrade 
actually)
and therefor it is not suitable to have there.

I'll see if I can reproduce it at my server, but if you have time to
debug it further that would be really great!

 Hi Ola,
 
 I found the old sarge has /etc/vservers/util-vserver-vars
 And the new one(fresh installed sarge) does not.
 
 It cause the newvserver script failed on build new vserver, because has 
 no /etc/vservers/util-vserver-vars.
 
 For solve this problem, just simply copy
 /usr/lib/util-vserver/util-vserver-vars to /etc/vservers/

I actually do not think this is a problem. The util-vserver-vars file
exist in /usr/lib/util-vserver (as far as i remember) and it
can be used for building.

To determine the exact cause of this error. I need more information,
i.e. error output and probably some help with debugging.

It can be that you have a symlink that point to wrong location
maybe.

Did you a fresh install of util-vserver, or was it an upgrade from
older version in sarge before it entered testing.

 I will suggest to mention this in NEW or README.Debian or add it to
 postinst.

Well sarge has become stable and such updates will not be allowed for
the package, unfortunatly.

 Thank you for your wonderfull integration of vserver packages in Debian.

You are welcome.

Regards,

// Ola
