Integration in sf.lxc repo #61

Hello,

Just a humble suggestion, I am not fully aware of this template's customer use cases and its development history. As a Linux containers user, I've had a fairly easy time getting a gentoo container up and running using this template and upstream lxc 0.9.0.

Could this template be part of the upstream sf.lxc repo? I don't have much experience with lxc development, but I can give a shot at integrating it, as long as I have maintainers' approval.

Thank you!

This was a plan some time ago, after it was made known that the lxc userspace development had moved to Github. However, we use different licenses so the project is being maintained separately at present. The lxc developers' apparent view and my own view is that the various distribution-specific generators are merely a stopgap measure and will at some point be retired. Therefore a little fragmentation at this stage is less of a concern than it might otherwise be.

It would be great to have some form of integration, even if that means:

!/bin/bash

printf "The Gentoo LXC script is maintained at https://github.com/globalcitizen/lxc-gentoo"
