At first glance, that could be a good idea, openwrt is low in memory footprint, and high on network capabilities (which could be a good thing for testing) For example, having things like netperf/iperf could be a great thing for tools likes shaker or bandwidth shaping policing tests. > > On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 1:56 AM, Ian Wienand <iwien...@redhat.com> wrote: >> >> On 08/09/2016 02:10 AM, Jeremy Stanley wrote: >>> >>> I haven't personally tested the CirrOS build instructions, but have >>> a feeling writing a diskimage-builder element wrapper for that >>> wouldn't be particularly challenging. >> >> >> I'm not exactly sure it fits that well into dib; it seems like >> "bundle" has it mostly figured out.
