History:
========

0.7:
----

 Support for squeeze.

0.6:
----

 Support for lenny and post install host script.

0.5:
----

 Possible to do unattended installs.

0.4:
----

 Make --hostname --ip and --domain options optional if a nameserver is
 available so they can be determined. One of --hostname or --ip still have
 to be used to query the database.

 Allow to use configurable mirrors for non-US and security updates.

0.3:
----

  In 2006 etch is the default distribution for installations.

0.2:
----

  In 2005 it has been modified a lot to use vserver ... build infrastructure
  available in latest version of util-vserver. This allow for the latest
  configuration structure and less code in newvserver program.

0.1:
----

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

0.0:
----

  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) the vserver package in the
  Debian GNU/Linux Distribution. Ola also added a couple of other scripts to
  make other tasks like stripping virtual servers and such.

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.

  Package caching can be disabled with the option --nopkgcache.
