[Lxc-users] Running the latest LXC version

[Kevin LaTona]

Currently I am using LXC 0.7.5.3.

Looking at the kernel used in my version of 12.04 I see it's using 3.5.0.37 which is the same kernel used in 12.10.

12.10 is using LXC 8.0.0-4.

So right now based upon what I have found in charts my kernel and LXC are not in lock step.

Not sure it that really matters 100% or not.


The point for all of this is I am trying to figure out how to move in or out what versions of LXC I want vs what the apt-get repository is set at.

Not sure why it's so hard and or how to get around these presets.


Which is why I posted the question here hoping some one might know how to get around this obstacle and be willing to share that process.

Since as of yet I have done found any documentation or blog post that shows how to do that with out possible screwing up the whole OS.


Thanks
-Kevin
