Hi Tom, I don't know much about your VM creation process but I was planning on developing a Packer file (https://www.packer.io )instead of/in addition to the VM image.
I think packer file would make it easy to push latest stable builds to the image and is quite lightweight to host to. So if you have a standard "to-do" list for creating the VM image that you can share, it would be great. Cheers, Asad ________________________________________ From: Tom Browder <tom.brow...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2017 11:14 PM To: Developer discussions Subject: [brlcad-devel] BRL-CAD VM Hi, Sean and gang, long time no contact--and Happy New Year! I plan to update the VM and use Debian 8. I also plan to use the same text, directories, and files that I used with the old Deb 7 VM (with updated BRL-CAD and friends, of course). While I start to work on the new VM I would appreciate any suggestions for improvements. Note that all the info on how to build the VM, what to put in the vuser home directory, and how to transfer it to Sourceforge are in the project directory: brlcad/code/ova while the brlcad source itself is at: brlcad/code/brlcad The "ova" comes from the VirtualBox image extension for an exported machine image.
