The situation is going to be improved as the package management tools
(earlier known as vzpkg) will be a part of Virtuozzo 7, in fact the sources
are already there:
https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZ/repos/vztt/browse
as well as some templates metadata
https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZT
Once all this will be ready, metadata will be distributed as rpm packages
and the caches will be created locally (vzpkg cache).
Please don't hold your breath, it's still not ready to be used,
but soon it will be.

Greetings,

for creating rpm-files you need rpmbuild and spec-file.
for example:
$ cat vz-template-centos-7-x86_64-minimal.spec
Name: vz-template-centos-7-x86_64-minimal
Version: 2015.06.16
Release: 1%{?dist}
License: TBD
Summary: TBD
Source0:
http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/centos-7-x86_64-minimal.tar.gz
%description
TBD
%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
install -p -D -m0644 %{SOURCE0}
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/vz/template/cache/centos-7-x86_64-minimal.tar.gz
%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
/vz/template/cache/centos-7-x86_64-minimal.tar.gz
$ rpmbuild -ba vz-template-centos-7-x86_64-minimal.spec
as result you will got
vz-template-centos-7-x86_64-minimal-2015.06.16-1.el7.openvz.x86_64.rpm
and file /vz/template/cache/centos-7-x86_64-minimal.tar.gz
now can be installed, upgraded, removed, ... via rpm and yum.
# yum install vz-template-centos-7-x86_64-minimal
# yum update
When the package is just a big .tar.gz|xz file... and you have to build all new
rpm files every time there are OS template updates... sounds like a lot of
overhead. Feel free to do it for yourself. No one is going to stop you.
vztmpl-dl is package manager without dependency information provided.
this is not fine.
and updating system to current state requires
run two commands instead of only one: "yum update".
this also is not fine.
Umm, we really do NOT want to encourage people running older kernels and
versions of the vz utils. Everyone is recommended to run the latest stable
releases.
I just use rsync to grab the OS Templates myself.
TYL,
