Description Petr Polezhaev 2009-02-18 00:29:24 UTC

Quite useless to have git kernels and use old utilities. vzpkg even not exists at all. For example, git 27 kernel already have PPP virtualisation support, but in-tree vzctl version doesn't support it. Even more - if you will apply a patch from openvz bugzilla it will not work - flag values was changed.

Here comes three ebuilds (in one bug, just becouse they all related to one title - OpenVZ utilities).

All patches from snapshot version removed - they are unneeded anymore.
Build system based on eautoreconf

That's something wrong about three ebuilds... I don't know what about I was thinking about when was writing first post, vzpkg is 2 years old already and vzquota was merged in vzctl since some time ago =)

There is only one ebuild - git version of vzctl, sorry for wrong posting.

No problem. Thanks for submitting your live ebuild, assigning to maintainer.

After second thought on this issue, I don't think we need git ebuild in our tree:

1. If there are important fixes in git - all users want it, thus report us and we'll put fix into our ebuild. Upstream releases quite infrequently so it's better.
2. New features which entered git - they are (at least should be) backward compatible with old kernels - thus it's also safe to put them into vzctl.

Taking into account that we have our own patches that are still not merged with upstream git (and it's not sane to add this patches into upstream git ebuild) I think having this ebuild will be just additional maintainance burden.

having said that, ppp patch was merged into vzctl-3.0.23-r1.ebuild. Please test it. And thank you for report.

Currently I'll close this bug as later, since it's probable that at future we'll want this package in our tree.
