Hi, I am afraid you might've misunderstood me. I am aware that OpenSUSE does provide LXC, but I meant is there work being done for OBS, so that OBS build host would use LXC to separate the worker build environment itself from the build host (so that the package being built cannot modify the build host). To me, it seems that currently OBS supports Xen and KVM. Looking at /etc/sysconfig/obs-worker, OBS_VM_TYPE can be auto, xen, kvm or none. Could support for LXC be easily implemented? When you said "we support", I understood that you meant OpenSUSE. However, I was talking specifically about OBS.

Greetings,
Is there any work being done for OpenVZ, LXC or other OS-level virtualization support for the build environment in OBS?
I am doing my Master's thesis on extending OBS to the cloud. Seeing that Amazon Web Services uses Xen for virtualization (and thus does not support Xen/KVM inside it), and that building without a sandboxed environment is not safe, OpenVZ and LXC would seem promising. There's also much talk about using these technologies in AWS, so I would see it possible.
We support XEN, KVM and LXC atm. Check the sources here : http://www.gitorious.org/opensuse/build However, amazon EC2 is not support because the XEN support requires currently control over the Dom0
