Hi, I'm rather new to LXC but I'm already working on improving the existing tools.
My work is based on that of Nigel Mcnie [1]. Since he doesn't seem to be fully involved into LXC I'm looking for a place to contribute my patches to. I propose a clear separation of concerns. The core package "lxc" should only include the essential userland tools, mostly those written in C. The fancy ones should go into a package of their own. Either separated by distribution (lxc-debian, lxc-redhat, ...) or all in one (lxc-utils). Further I propose not to separate tools which should be united in one. I'd like to see the a separation of the container-creation tools based on the lower level programs they use. Something like lxc-debootstrap for Debian-based distributions and something alike for the ones based on RPM. Because separating Debian and Ubuntu doesn't seem to support achieving our objectives. They are just to similar in terms of creating containers. (Partly) in contrast to the proposal of Daniel Lezcano [2] I'd propose to keep the core utils small and simple (following the well known KISS principle) and don't go for templates which are called by lxc-create. Instead I'd keep lxc- create as small as possible and incorporate it into other tools, which I've mentioned above. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Dominik [1] - git://git.nigel.mcnie.name/lxc-debian.git [2] - http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=4B5CBC73.9090608%40free.fr [3] - http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=97b8e6321001251409qe3200a2y80bc066aef6cb8f9%40mail.gmail.com
