[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] lxc-0.2 and bindings-0.2 – Haskell LXC API bindings

[Nickolay Kudasov]

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce the Haskell LXC API bindings.
Bindings are represented by 2 cabal packages: lxc and bindings-lxc.

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features.
For more information see https://linuxcontainers.org.

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/lxc

High level Haskell bindings to LXC (Linux containers).

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bindings-lxc

Direct Haskell bindings to LXC (Linux containers) C API.
Git repository: https://github.com/fizruk/bindings-lxc

Before installation make sure you have LXC installed on your system with
header files and static library. Packages have been tested with Ubuntu
12.04 and 14.04.

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr):

$ sudo apt-get install lxc-dev

On previous Ubuntu versions (including 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin)
standard repositories do not contain liblxc1 package.
You might want to use ppa:ubuntu-lxc/stable repository instead:

$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-lxc/stable
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install lxc-dev

===

To get the latest stable version of both packages:

$ cabal install lxc

===

While Haddock documentation is absent one can either build haddock
documentation locally or view it online on GitHub Pages:

lxc documentation: http://fizruk.github.io/lxc/docs/

bindings-lxc documentation: http://fizruk.github.io/bindings-lxc/docs/

See also Usage section of lxc package README file:
https://github.com/fizruk/lxc/blob/master/README.md#usage

===

Feedback of any kind is welcome!

Cheers,
Nickolay Kudasov
