Hello Dann,

I've got your message from the list and would like to ask you what this mean? We are massively using OpenVZ for our containers and this is the base of our weberver farm. The lxc Linux Containers project (http://lxc.sourceforge.net) sounds similar as OpenVZ. Are the kernel patches based upon the work of OpenVZ from Kir Kolyshkin? My colleague and I know Kir Kolyshkin (OpenVZ) since some years and we are in contact from time to time with him.

I gather that it isn't currently a problem for us because squeeze will have an OpenVZ kernel image but its good to know whats coming next because we then have to productive migrate a lot of instances.

Does anyone know whats the currently status of OpenVZ integration in Debian 6.0 and later is? Whats the plan or vision?

The lxc homepage and the lxc article on wiki.debian.org or are quite straight forward. We aren't developers but we could do some testing if help is needed.

Maks & I discussed this on IRC and drafted the following text which we
believe is ready for inclusion:

 Debian 6.0 will be the final Debian release to include Linux kernel
 virtualization featuresets outside of mainline. This means that the
 OpenVZ and Linux-Vserver featuresets should be considered deprecated,
 and users should migrate to linux-2.6 upstream merged virtualization
 solutions like KVM, Linux Containers or Xen.
