Thanks much for providing these!

Does stretch/linux-vserver now work with systemd? IIRC jessie needed
sysv-init (on the host, at least).

You should be fine putting the stretch sources.list entry into a Jessie install and installing the Stretch kernel though.

Hi Ben,


Any chance of this package getting into the Debian Jessie distro repositories as well?

Cheers,

Hi all,

I've just finished and uploaded Linux kernel 4.9.78 with patch vs2.3.9.6. They are installable directly from the psand.net repository, or via the metapackage:

linux-image-vserver-4.9-beng

For i386 and amd64 architectures, and there's a version I've compiled with gcc-8 which can be installed directly, or via the metapackage:

linux-image-vserver-4.9-beng-reptoline

That one is amd64 only of course. These images are only provided in the Debian Stretch distro repositories. Instruction (which need a bit of updating but should get you where you need to be) are at:

https://www.psand.net/services/public-repository.html

These kernels are minimally tested and as usual come with absolutely no guarantees whatsoever.

Cheers,
Ben
