64 bit precreated debian 7.0 template is 7.6/7.7 and upstart

[mathx]

the debian 7.0 minimal template here: http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/template/precreated

ie http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/debian-7.0-x86_64-minimal.tar.gz

is debian 7.6 per /etc/debian_version

(so why not name it as such?)

Same deal with the 'full' image http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/debian-7.0-x86_64.tar.gz except it's 7.7 but named 7.0 (and yet create date seconds apart from the minimal).

And why has it been set to upstart instead of sysVinit? Thought upstart was totally deprecated and not part of the debian war over systemd/sysVinit?

also:

$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/parallels 
Package: sysvinit
Pin: release c=main
Pin-Priority: -1

Those are OpenVZ templates and not Proxmox.

I think the OpenVX forum will be able to help you with some answers.

true enough, sorry, but I saw many posts here pointing to such images for 64 bit use - are there any created by Proxmox that are suitable for use as 64 bit containers? Is there really such a huge loss in ram due to 64 bit that they're not supplied?

Would be great to have them in the templates list. Thanks.

You misunderstood me.

You can use these containers within Proxmox.

However, if you need the container to be modified, you have to do it yourself, ask on the OpenVZ community or google it.

Of course. Just didnt want to have to modify them, and use a trusted image from proxmox with it's reputation behind it instead I've modified it slightly for my uses. Thanks.
