["Sean Mackrory (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Sean Mackrory updated BIGTOP-871:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: boxgrinder-bigtop.tar.gz

I've put together a Bigtop-based example of what I've already done. It won't build right now because for some reason it's missing the default repositories, but this should demonstrate the concept sufficiently well.

Given the discussion going on in the mailing list I think I'll hold off until we know what direction we want to head and then throw my wait behind that effort...

> There are certain improvements that I think can be made to the Bigtop VMs that are probably best accomplished by making a simple wrapper around Boxgrinder. Improvements include:
> - For including hypervisor-specific extensions, like VMWare Tools or Virtualbox Guest additions
> - More polishing of the resulting artifacts, like creating OVA appliances, tweak the VMX appliances
> - A good way to separate the boxgrinder configuration for each component
> I've done some tinkering in this direction and will post code for my ideas soon.
