Description:
In this new version of htop (0.8.1) has been added the option to monitor tasks running inside Linux-VServer guests
(in different namespaces/context) in a similar way of what vtop (a tool of util-vserver) does.

Actually I use only Linux-VServer but i saw that htop, by version 0.7, already supports OpenVZ in this feature.

Is it possible to implement the follow options in the build of the official package?

--enable-vserver
--enable-openvz

They don't require any additional dep on the package so you are not required to have a VServer or OpenVZ patched kernel (or any additional userland programs from these projects).

Additional info:
htop-0.8.1

Thanks.
This task depends upon

IMO, I don't think we should enable these options by default because I can only see a handful of people benefiting from this. Plus, creating your own custom package using the abs is brain dead easy.

You are right Tom about how it's easy to build personal packages from ABS and already I use this solution for this and other packages in my local repositories.

But, as indicated in the ticket, the two options do not require additional dependencies (neither at runtime nor makedep... at least I'm sure about it for Linux-VServer since I use this software) plus this options implements new meters that aren't selected by default so IMO, given the non-invasiveness, it could be useful to have those meters selectable as an option in the official package at least for those who, like me, has installed servers in a OS-level virtualized environment.
