where did you find these broken links ? If you can let me know, I will
fix the links. But as mentioned in 

	https://ckpt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Link-LXC-USERCR

there are sub-directories (eg lxc-0.7.2) for each version of LXC.

You may also want to refer to this mail:

| 
| 1) Working on that would help something on, somebody in or someway the
| project?

You can try out the patches, report problems and if possible submit fixes for
any problems you encounter :-)

| 2) Are those good references in the current affair of things on LXC-CR and
| migration?

Other than that LXC+USERCR wiki and discussions on this mailing list,
none.

| 3) Is there a "reference model" as how that functionality should be built?

Not sure what you mean by a reference model.

| 4) Is there any "code conventions" on LXC?

Same as linux kernel code for the most part.

| 5) There is something like that already built: vzmigrate.

| Are you OK with
| the concept of copying a frozen machine to it's new place through ssh?

Not sure exactly what you mean, but yes you can ssh the checkpoint image
to a different machine with similar configuration and restart the container.

| Or is LXC trying to mimetize as little as possible other projects?

I don't understand what you mean by this.
