Hi Robert,

I'm trying to play with vzpkg2. Here are some random problems I found so 
far.


1. I am trying to install the beast on Fedora 7 x86_64 system. This is 
what I see:

/usr/share/vzpkg2/cache-os: line 164: /usr/lib/vzctl/scripts/vps-create: 
No such file or directory

The thing is vps-create is located in /usr/lib64/vzctl/scrpts on an x64 
box (vzctl-lib-3.0.22-1.x86_64.rpm). This was never a problem because 
vzpkg didn't work on x86_64. Now this needs to be fixed, I guess the 
workaround is to check lib64 first and use it if available. Patch 
(0001-*) is attached.


2. In git commit 2fdcbfc56b4d823ff085e80ec79828f67b5de5a9 you have added 
%{dist} to the value of Release: field of vzpkg.spec. This is a good 
thing, since it makes .spec file to be more Fedora-packaging-guidelines 
compatible. Then in commit 0fe151bd07301c78c85a319d683c3e7fd9117f38 you 
are removing it.

The proper way is to put %{?dist} so if it's not set then it will expand 
to empty string. Patch (0002-*) is attached.


3. There are a few problems with setting VZPKG_CACHE_HOST in /etc/vz/vz.conf

(a) From my POV, vzpkg should work (maybe suboptimal and inefficient, 
but it should) without any additional settings. Now it's not so -- you 
have to specify VZPKG_CACHE_HOST manually. It should be optional.
(b) vz.conf man page belongs to vzctl, while this parameter belongs to 
vzpkg. It's a bit unnatural.
(c) Protocol (http://) is explicitly prepended to a value of 
VZPKG_CACHE_HOST. This makes it impossible to use anything other than 
http:// (i.e. ftp://, file://, whatever).
(d) This is a global parameter, which means it's not possible to have a 
per-distro cache/repo in different places. This is the case for me -- 
there are repo mirrors of pretty much every distro in my LAN, but they 
are not on the same server.

Not really sure what do to about that -- just started to looking and... 
here comes the weekend :)


This is it so far; will continue next week.

Subject: [PATCH] functions: find the proper VZLIB_SCRIPTDIR

Fix for the following problem:
> /usr/share/vzpkg2/cache-os: line 164:
>   /usr/lib/vzctl/scripts/vps-create: No such file or directory

The thing is vps-create is located in /usr/lib64/vzctl/scrpts on an amd64 box
(checked on vzctl-lib-3.0.22-1.x86_64.rpm). So check for this path first and
use it if available.

Subject: [PATCH] vzpkg.spec: add back %{dist} to release

In git commit 2fdcbfc56b4d823ff085e80ec79828f67b5de5a9 %{dist} was added
to the value of Release: field of vzpkg.spec. This is a good thing, since
it makes .spec file to be more Fedora-packaging-guidelines compatible.
Then in commit 0fe151bd07301c78c85a319d683c3e7fd9117f38 it was removed.

Returning it back in a proper way, i.e. %{?dist} -- which expands to empty
if dist is not set.
