#
# in a nutshell, building a f17 image from an earlier version is challenging
-# this means on the long run we're going to have to have build boxes run f17 or higher
#
-# several options could be considered
-# (*) tweak the build to use lxc-based host instead of vs;
-# this also requires better user tools for lxc than the stock lxctools
-# that we've been using so far for vtest-init-lxc.sh
-# (*) assemble a f17-vs build box (not preferred at all)
+# ========== update january 2013
+# we have a first build box that can build for f18
+# this still needs to be properly documented and packaged though
+# see https://svn.planet-lab.org/wiki/VserverFedora14

+# #################### debians and ubuntus
+#
+# the build utilities can now produce a build VM for the most recent
+# debians (squeeze, wheezy, jessie) and ubuntus ( oreinic, precise, quantal,
+# raring, saucy, trusty )
#
+# of course we're nowhere close to supporting the whole PLC on these
+# systems, as packaging for debian requires manual tweaks in every
+# single module
+#
+# However the SFA module at least is rebuilt on these platforms on a
+# regular basis, at least for each tag
