What about openvz in ubuntu 8.10 ?

Asked by Thomas Bechtold

hi,

i want to know if there will be binary packages (in universe) with an openvz-kernel (ubuntu 8.10 alias intrepid)? I can't find something with http://packages.ubuntu.com . Looks like there will be no more openvz in ubuntu, right?

cheers,

tom

I am also interested in this question.

I use openvz in hardy (8.04) and recently installed Intrepid (8.10) but no openvz kernel :(

I hope openvz will continue to be supported in Ubuntu.

I second the argument. The question is now even more relevant because of
