[edit] Tools

[edit] vzctl

[edit] Done

• Already updated to 3.0.22, see
  • https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vzctl/+bug/183774
  • http://packages.ubuntu.com/vzctl

[edit] TODO

• Need to fix requirements: vzctl now suggests on linux-patch-openvz, instead it should require linux-image-openvz
• It probably makes sense to automate changing sysctl options on vzctl package installation (like vzctl from debian.systs.org does).

[edit] vzquota

[edit] DONE

• Updated to 3.0.11, see http://packages.ubuntu.com/vzquota

[edit] TODO

• As with vzctl, need to get rid of 'Suggects: kernel-patch-openvz' and require kernel-image-openvz instead.

[edit] vzpkg

Don't have plans to ship vzpkg in Ubuntu

[edit] Documentation

• Ubuntu-specific documentation on wiki.openvz.org (see Category:Ubuntu)
• OpenVZ landing page for ubuntu.com

[edit] Templates

The following templates are currently available (check http://openvz.org/download/template/cache/ for full list):

• Ubuntu 7.10 for x86 and x86_64.

We need to create somewhat minimal Hardy template and [probably?] pack it into a package.

As Ubuntu comes with debootstrap, making Ubuntu templates is pretty easy. See Ubuntu Gutsy template creation.
