Bug#478208: Bug#392015: [Debian] Re: Bug#478208: linux-patch-openvz asks for kernel version 2.6.18 while default kernel on lenny is 2.6.24
As for mainstream integration, I can say OpenVZ is committed to merging containers functionality to mainstream. I have just checked the number of changesets submitted by OpenVZ and Linux-VServer guys, using up-to-date Linus' kernel git tree. For the last 365 days (i.e. a year) there were 818 changesets from OpenVZ guys and only 14 patches from VServer guys. These numbers could be wrong (maybe I'm missing someone) but not totally wrong. Also, IMHO the document http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelPatchAcceptanceGuidelines is not applicable to this case because it describes patches that are [not] welcome to standard Debian kernel, while OpenVZ, Linux-VServer, Xen etc. provide flavored kernels. In other words, these all are special kernels with special use cases. So, either this policy is not applicable, or linux-image-vserver and linux-image-xen are all not conforming to the policy. As for 2.6.26, OpenVZ team plans to start porting to that kernel as soon as 2.6.26-rc1 is released. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelPatchAcceptanceGuidelines?action=fullsearchvalue=linkto%3A%22DebianKernelPatchAcceptanceGuidelines%22context=180 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I just took a look into the patch (the devpts part, because upstream Linux lacks namespace support there) and I was shocked about the quality of this patch.

VServer looks currently dead. However it do not match the Debian Acceptance Guidelines as you can see in http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelPatchAcceptanceGuidelines Well, for an extra featureset, it may be accepted. As we don't longer want to build extra Xen images and VServer is also not supported currently, we may have a spare slot for them.

What do I need to do in order to help with including openvz? Besides providing a decent patch?
