Hello, sorry for bothering with such elementary questions, but Google was not my friend in this case and nor did I manage to find a search option for the archive of this mailing-list ... I'm trying to configure a installation skeleton for my Debian Jessie VServers, following some hints from http://www.nongnu.org/util-vserver/doc/conf/configuration.html. My Linux-VServer-host runs on Debian Jessie with kernel 3.10.35-vs2.3.6.8+lihas1 #1 SMP Wed Apr 2 11:38:21 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux. For accomplishing this, I created a directory within /etc/vservers/.distributions/ named "jessie", within the "jessie"-subdir, * I modified initpre- and initpost-scripts (inspired from /usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/) -> this part works quite well * created an "apt"-subdir-tree with some lists in sources.list.d, special apt.conf, preferences, trusted.gpg etc. -> but only the apt.conf file is copied to my new vserver - thus it resides in the "apt"-subdir? A workaround for the moment is here to put a copy-statement into the initpre-script * created a "pkgs"-subdir for defining packagenames -> both ways a) one file named "list" holding a list of package-names (each package-name on a seperate line) b) several files (01 to 32) containing just one line with one package-name do not work, meaning none of the listed packages is installed What am I doing wrong? Is there any documentation with examples or howtos available for creating such a skeleton? Another question is, when the above part is solved, is it possible to install packages from other sources-lists during the process of setting up a new vserver? And if yes: how? Cheers and TIA from Christoph. -- Christoph Haas chhaas-ml@ukbw.de
