History:
--------

This software package was originally just a simple script to create virtual
servers (vserver project) on debian machines using debootstrap.

It was first written by Mark Lawrence <nomad@null.net> and then improved
by Paul Sladen   <vserver@paul.sladen.org>. Ola Lundqvist <opal@debian.org>
modified it further and included it (in 2002) in the vserver package in
Debian. He also added a couple of other scripts to make other tasks like
stripping virtual servers and such.

In 2004 it was split out as a separate piece of software so it
can evolve on its own.


Package cache notice:
---------------------

Previous versions of newvserver saved archives in $VROOT/ARCHIVES. Due to
problems with having the same dir for saved archives for multiple distributions
this directory has been changed to $VROOT/ARCHIVES/$DIST. You can clean this
directory.

If you are creating virtual servers from a distribution that change over time
(like testing and unstable) you may find similar errors. The solution is to
clean the $VROOT/ARCHIVES/$DIST directory if it complains on unpacking a
debfile that do not exist.
