The latest version of vzctl can be seen at:
http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/utils
They are listed as:
Code:
vzctl-lib-3.0.26.2-1.x86_64.rpm (2011-03-18)
vzctl-3.0.26.2-1.x86_64.rpm (2011-03-18)
[COLOR=black][URL="http://download.openvz.org/utils/vzquota/3.0.12/vzquota-3.0.12-1.x86_64.rpm"]vzquota-3.0.12-1.x86_64.rpm[/URL][/COLOR] (2008-03-07) - yes, it is that old!
They are however, not compiled for Proxmox VE and are generic from OpenVZ.org.

The versions in the latest Proxmox VE v1.8 are:
Code:
vzctl: 3.0.24-1pve4
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
The differences indicate that currently a template is tarred with:
Code:
tar --numeric-owner -zcvf ....
it should now take into account Sparse File Archiving (x00 bytes should not increase the size of the tar file) and retaining file permissions with:
Code:
tar --numeric-owner -Sp -zcvf ....
In ProxMox /usr/lib64 is symlinked to /usr/lib and hence, such differences in the newer scripts can be ignored.

A detailed article is at the Wiki.
