Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-871:
--------------------------------------
I'm actually thinking a better approach is to use Packer - which would allow us
to share "provisioning" scripts with Jay Vyas' recent Vagrant work...
> Add a Boxgrinder wrapper to Bigtop

>
> 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.
