description: I was wondering how does vzpkgxxxx's RPM based stuff will fit within Gentoo, a source based distro? I'm aware of rpm on Gentoo and having Gentoo as a based OS and other distros running on OpenVZ on top of Gentoo would be very nice. In fact, Gentoo as a template would also be very nice as well.

description: There will probably be no support for Gentoo in openvz package tools, since it doesn't make any sense. Still, we are working to have a precreated Gentoo template for openvz.

description: It surely is great to having gentoo template. I'll even play with it in my VZ machine. (I read from somewhere in this forum that commercial VZ supports templates from openvz.) I do agree with you about openvz pkg tools. But then why exists openvz-sources on gentoo portage at all? Just curious.

description: Having OpenVZ sources (and vzctl, and vzquota) in Gentoo is for Gentoo people to try/use OpenVZ. We will probably port vzpkg tools to Gentoo as well, so it will be possible to create/update OS templates supported by vzpkg on a Gentoo box. This does not mean there will be gentoo support in vzpkg; rather it will be able to install RedHat/CentOS/Fedora/whatever VPSs on a Gentoo hardware node. Commercial VZ will not support Gentoo as a host system.
