OpenVZ has made kernel and tools repo available for Debian Wheezy users.
Read below for more information. Everyone who is using Wheezy is advised
to switch to this repo.


Contents
========
There are two repositories for Debian Wheezy, named wheezy and wheezy-test:

* "wheezy" provides RHEL6 stable kernel (currently 042stab081.3)
* "wheezy-test" provides RHEL6 testing kernel (currently 042stab082.6)

Both repositories also have a dummy package named linux-image-openvz-amd64
that depends on an appropriate latest kernel version.

Currently, user-space tools (namely vzctl 4.5, ploop 1.9, vzquota 3.1
and vzstats 0.5.2) are only available from the "wheezy-test" repository.
These packages will eventually be copied to "wheezy".


Setup
=====
cat << EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvz-rhel6.list
deb http://download.openvz.org/debian wheezy main
deb http://download.openvz.org/debian wheezy-test main
EOF


Limitations
===========
Currently, kernel is only built for AMD64. If there will be a sufficient
demand for x86, it will be added later.
