Package moves suck. They make finding history on the packages much harder, and there's really no need for it. I'd be against it for VMware. We don't need anything that makes our lives more complex. VMware's ability to have all of the modules break on every single kernel release keeps us busy enough, as it is. > On Tue, 2006-07-04 at 12:11 +0100, Chris Bainbridge wrote: > > On 03/07/06, Benedikt B=C3=B6hm wrote: > > > On Monday 03 July 2006 21:56, Nick Devito wrote: > > > > Okay, in that case, extend the vserver herd to include a larger ran= ge of > > > > virtualization stuff, including Xen, Bochs, and so on.
