Hello everybody!
util-vserver 0.30.212 is an early christmas present to you all, with a
couple of new features and a few fixes. Get it now, from
http://ftp.linux-vserver.org/pub/utils/util-vserver/
In the new features department, there are things like:
- IPv6 support if using Bruno Prémont's IPv6 patch.
- IP addresses can be added on the fly (if the context had more than one
address before), with naddress --nid <guest> --add --ip <address>
- namespace cleanup was improved to such a degree that I thought it was
safe to enable by default (can be disabled again by touch
/etc/vservers/.defaults/nonamespace-cleanup).
- wrapper scripts for Gentoo have been added (vemerge, vesync,
vupdateworld and vdispatch-conf), thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
- the gentoo initstyle has been reimplemented by Benedikt Böhm.
- support for the Linux-VServer 2.1+ APIs has been implemented. This
means the new scheduler can now be configured using the utils, with a
completely new configuration format (see
/etc/vservers/<vserver-name>/sched on the great flower page[1]), among
other things.
- support for 2.6.19 kernels has also been added.
- an rsync build method has been added, which can be used to facilitate
simple cloning, both from other hosts and locally.
From the fixes department, we got things like:
- vserver <guest> start --rescue /bin/bash now works as expected
- vyum working on FC6.
- vlogin can now be disabled, by touch
/etc/vservers/.defaults/apps/vlogin/disable
- all unconfigured ulimits are reset to the maximum value, so the limits
from the host are no longer inherited.
- building Fedora guests on non-Fedora system should work again.
For the complete list of changes, see the ChangeLog inside the tarball.
