List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 24 May 2008 12:20:02 -0000 Hi, the main purpose for freebsd-virtualization is going to be: A list to discuss the various virtualization techniques FreeBSD supports. On one hand the focus will be on the implementation of the basic functionality as well as adding new features. On the other hand users will have a forum to ask for help in case of problems or to discuss their use cases. !!! !!! !!! However for the next months it will be purely used to discuss the technical details of bringing vimage into the FreeBSD tree. During this time neither bikesheds nor discussions of one virtualization technique over the overs are welcome. So please refrain from starting threads like those. !!! !!! !!! Once the basic vimage framework will be in the src tree, I'll send a follow-up posting to this list and to others and we will try to fold all jail, xen, vimage, ... discussions into this single list as a lot of people seem to use more than one technique. By that time the list will be open to discuss all relevant subjects. It will then also help to better coordinate efforts to avoid duplication of work and enhance user experience as people familiar with the different methods will be around. Greetings Bjoern -- Bjoern A. Zeeb Stop bit received. Insert coin for new game.
