| |
The version 0.4.0 of the Linux Containers userspace tools has been released.
It is available at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxc/
This version provides:
* the lxc commands can be used as a non-root user, that allows a container to be ran without root privileges. This feature relies on the file capabilities, without them the lxc commands should be run as the root user
* the monitoring has been improved, so several readers can monitor the same container state changes. The command line lxc-monitor can work with regexp, so it is easy to specify several containers with a simple regexp, or an extended regexp.
ChangeLog between this version and the previous version:
2008-10-28 23:08 dlezcano
* Makefile.am: Generate a ChangeLog, if possible, and copy it to the dist directory in order to be shipped with the release
2008-10-28 23:06 dlezcano
* release.sh: Added a helper to generate the Changelog between two releases
2008-10-26 23:06 dlezcano
* Makefile.am, configure.in, lxc.spec.in, src/lxc/Makefile.am, src/lxc/lxc.h: Fixed different compilation scheme by making /var/lxc directory relative to the installation prefix and by adding some extra path to search for the 'setcap' command.
2008-10-25 00:08 dlezcano
* Makefile.am, configure.in: Added automatic generation of packages and repository tagging
2008-10-25 00:06 dlezcano
* ChangeLog: Automatically generated now with cvs2cl command
2008-10-24 23:56 dlezcano
* release.sh: Helper script to generate releases
2008-10-24 23:33 dlezcano
* ChangeLog: Version lxc-0.4.0
2008-10-24 22:24 dlezcano
* lxc.spec.in, src/lxc/Makefile.am: Added file capabilities to lxc-restart
2008-10-24 22:14 dlezcano
* configure.in, lxc.spec.in, src/lxc/Makefile.am, src/lxc/destroy.c: Give the ability to non-root user to play with the containers. This feature relies on the file capabilities, when the lxc commands are installed, the sys/net admin capabilities are given to these files. These capabilities are not available for the application running inside the container.
2008-10-24 22:11 dlezcano
* src/lxc/execute.c: Exit instead of returning in the child processes, otherwise the execution path of the child will be wrong in case of error.
2008-10-23 15:09 legoater
* src/lxc/restart.c: removed opentty now useless and fixed pid of root process for restart
2008-10-23 09:21 legoater
* configure.in: fix missing src/lxc/lxc-checkconfig
2008-10-20 13:45 dlezcano
* src/lxc/: Makefile.am, lxc-checkconfig.in: This new command is a helper to check if the needed functionalities are compiled the kernel. It relies on /proc/config.gz, if it is not compiled, the command will simply fail. If a feature is missing but not mandatory, "disabled" keyword will appear in yellow, if it is mandatory, it will appear in "red", otherwise the key word "enabled" will appear in green.
2008-10-18 23:07 dlezcano
* src/lxc/: destroy.c, lxc.h, lxc_monitor.c, lxc_wait.c, monitor.c, monitor.h: These modifications improve the monitoring support of the container. Now several readers can attend the events from one or several containers. The syntax of the command has been enhanced to interpret regular expressions. If you want to monitor foo, lxc-monitor -n foo is the right command. If you want to monitor foo and bar, you should specify lxc-monitor -n "foo|bar", if you want to monitor all containers with the name beginning with 'foo', you have to specify lxc-monitor -n "foo.*". More complex regexp can be specified in accordance with the POSIX definitions, man regex (7).
