Hi all, it's time for an announcement concerning the repo.psand.net debian repository. Primarily: * Debian 9 'Stretch' will be the last Debian release we'll compile and publish kernels for. * We probably won't pursue any newer kernel patches that arise during stretch support, only compile the existing 3.18 and 4.1 streams. 3.18 ==== The 3.18 kernel series has been totally solid. 4.1 === I can boot this on some servers, but not others. I've never gone heavily into production with it. So in essence, we are, in a very slow and controlled way, jumping ship. LXC meets our needs now and we are moving there. Our entire business (and some of the other businesses I work for) have completely depended on Linux-Vserver for a long long time. We started with Debian kernels, but began to compile our own and put them in our repository with Debian 5.0 'Lenny', 8 years ago, when Debian decided to drop Linux-Vserver support. We've been so grateful for the project, but really that's not a strong enough word, it's been the backbone of our infrastructure and essential. OpenVZ, VMware, Xen, KVM and friends all have strong places in the history of Linux virtualization/containerization. I'm so so glad we didn't have to use them. Well it's not quite goodbye yet, still a few more years of support. I'm sure I'll compose an even more gushing email when that time's here. Thanks Herbert and Daniel, and also Ghislain and Corey and all the rest of you. You not only helped with Vserver issues, but actually talked me through bits where my knowledge was lacking, whatever that happened to be. It's been a pleasure. Cheers, Ben
