Output of this tools has been enhanced too. + - further improved Gentoo support, again thanks to Benedikt Böhm. - - BUGFIX: fixed off-by-one error when setting ipv4root; now the - full 16 IPs can be specified instead of 15 formerly + - support persistent contexts. - - added better detection for the syscall number; this can solve - problems on non-ix86 architectures where __NR_vserver is not 273 + - add another initscript that creates directories, configures vshelper + as well as kills all contexts. - - BUGFIX/ENHANCEMENTS: the CLI interface of 'reducecap' was fixed - significantly: now it is possible to remove capabilities like - CHOWN'. Formerly, only privileged caps like SYS_* or *_ADMIN - could be removed because of a coding error. Changes in the - related code are making it possible that both '--CAP_XXX' and - '--XXX' syntax will be recognized (based on patches and reports - by Bodo Eggert). + - new vserver-stat implementation, which uses the accounting APIs + available in Linux-VServer 2.2. - - cleaned up the documentation and removed unused files + - added support for setting sysctl values in the guest configuration. - - "minimum" installation method: added fc1 target, fixed the rh9 - filelist and use '-HS' in the sample.conf (reported by Arne - Blankerts) + - added a clone build method, which simply links already unified files. - - 'distrib-info' knows now how to deal with Debian; vunify & - related tools should now work there (patch provided by Matthew - Lavy) + - implement dynamic contexts in userspace, generating a static one + during vserver ... build. - - init-scripts are now a little bit more Debian compliantly - (Savannah patch #2633; provided by Noèl Köthe) - + - fix the endless loop in vlogin. - -Version 0.29 -============ + - fix Ubuntu builds. - - further compilation fixes + - improved support for Debian Etch, thanks to Benedikt Böhm. - - adapted the 'vserver ... build' command to the new barrier - mechanism + - added CentOS 5. - + - use the state change helper to try to cleanup after us if the guest + exited on its own. -Version 0.28 -============ - - - BUGFIX: fixed context creation when both fakeinit-flag and a - static context is wanted; previous versions ignored the fakeinit - flag in this situation +version 0.30.212 +================ + - support for the Linux-VServer 2.1 API has been implemented. - - BUGFIX: vserver-copy: autodetect mktemp/tempfile (reported by - DUCLOS Andre) + - the scheduler configuration has been split up into multiple files. - - FEATURE: allow to override start/stop commands of vservers - (patch by Erik Smit) + - namespace cleanup is enabled by default. This can be disabled by + touch ${sysconfdir}/vservers/.defaults/nonamespace-cleanup - - BUGFIX: call 'chkconfig' to fix initscripts *after* generating - the configuration (reported by DUCLOS Andre) + - all unset ulimits are now reset to infinity, so limits are no longer + inherited from the host. - - call programs with 'exec' on vserver's 'suexec' command (patch - by Alec Thomas) + - much improved Gentoo support, thanks to Benedikt Böhm. - - improved e2fsprogs header detection +version 0.30.211 +================ - - API-CHANGE: removed argument from vc_get_version() since the - only supported category is VC_CAT_COMPAT + - novlandev is now the default. To reenable the old behaviour of + creating VLAN interfaces where used, touch + ${sysconfdir}/vservers/.defaults/interfaces/vlandev. - -Version 0.27 -============ + - vshelper now works correctly with the kernel legacy support turned + off. - - added new 'vkill' implementation which uses the syscall from - vserver 1.1.6+. - - - BUGFIX: fixed typo in vc_get_version() wrapper which caused an - infinite recursive call of this function; this should not have - affected any userspace program - - - BUGFIX: 'vps' accepts multiple arguments now (from Debian patch) + - vlogin provides a terminal proxy which allocates a new psuedo-tty + on the inside when you enter a guest. - - vc_ctx_kill() was added - - - chrootsafe() code was removed since such a functionality seems - to be impossible + - and lots of other features/fixes, see ChangeLog. - - use 'vserver' instead of 'virtual_context' as the syscall name; - this will fix problems with architectures where the syscall is not - at #273. - - BUGFIX: fixed '--enable-apis' ./configure option; formerly, only - 'ALL' or none were possible +version 0.30.210 +================ - - moved some old, unused programs/scripts into a seperate 'legacy'/ - directory + - LEGACY BREAKAGE: by default, only recent kernel APIs will be + supported so you have to make sure to use at least the vs2.0.1 + kernel patch. With older kernels, you have to call 'configure' + with '--enable-apis=NOLEGACY'. Some programs will not work anymore + with the default settings; these ones are: - - BUGFIX: /dev/pts will be mounted with correct options now + + capchroot + * chcontext-context + * reducecap - - added support for Slackware's init-method (thanks to Stephen - Pearce for the patch) - - - API-CHANGE: followed kernel patches and renamed 'ctx_t' datatype - to 'xid_t'. - - -Version 0.26 -============ - - - BUGFIX: uninitialized variables in 'ifspec' were fixed and - error-messages will be given out when ioctl() on the requested - interface fails (thanks to Herbert Poetzl) - - - BUGFIX: fixed vc_get_rlimit_mask() to return the queried - values. This step was missing in 0.25 which returned the - error-code only. - - - use the shipped 'virtual.h' header on default instead of the - kernel version. The old Behavior can be restored with the - '--disable-internal-headers' ./configure option - - -Version 0.25 -============ - - - BUGFIX: this version fixes handling of ctx >= 32768 - - - experimental support for new resource-limit syscall was add - (vserver >= 1.1.3); the new 'vlimit' tool replaces 'setctxlimit' - - - some man-pages were added and init-scripts improved (taken from - Debian patches provided by Sam Vilain) - - - basic Gentoo support was added to the 'vserver' script (thanks to - "Allen D. Parker II") - - - compilation fixes for kernel 2.6 headers - - - set mode/owner of /var/run/utmp (owner is customizable through - $UTMP_GROUP) - - -Version 0.24 -============ - - - updated to new syscall API (patch c17h and later) - - - revived copy-all-mode for 'vserver ... build' (can be disabled - with $UTIL_VSERVER_AVOID_COPY) + - dlimit support was integrated into the standard vserver + operations. Thanks to Daniel Hokka Zakrisson for his patch. - - use '-HS' ulimit switch for newly created vservers + - recent kernel API is now used for setting up the network + contexts. So it should be now possible to use a kernel compiled + without CONFIG_VSERVER_LEGACYNET. Thanks to Daniel Hokka Zakrisson + for his patch. . - - added QUOTACTL capability, removed OPENDEV capability - - location of vservers-rootdir can now be configured through a - '--with-vrootdir' configure switch; it defaults still to - '/vservers' +version 0.30.209 +================ - - build of 'newvserver' linuxconf-module is conditionalized since - it is unsupported and will be dropped in future versions. To - enable it. call './configure' with '--enable-linuxconf'. + - large revamping... version 0.23.6
