Ubuntu Hardy TODO

This document is to track the status of OpenVZ integration into Ubuntu 8.04 «Hardy Heron».

Contents

KernelEdit

2.6.24 kernel is ready for initial inclusion to Hardy. Below are some resources.

Ubuntu Hardy kernel git:

• http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=summary
• How to add new kernel flavour

OpenVZ 2.6.24 kernel git (switch to 2.6.24-openvz branch):

• http://git.openvz.org/?p=linux-2.6.24-openvz;a=summary
• http://git.openvz.org/?p=linux-2.6.24-openvz;a=shortlog;h=2.6.24-openvz

Status: adobriyan@ is working on porting our patch set to hardy kernel.

ToolsEdit

vzctlEdit

DoneEdit

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

TODOEdit

• 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).

vzquotaEdit

DONEEdit

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

TODOEdit

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

vzpkgEdit

Don't have plans to ship vzpkg in Ubuntu

DocumentationEdit

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

TemplatesEdit

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.
