Can you update the documentation in confluence
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Build+Your+Own+SystemVM+Templates
to reflect what's required now.
Its woefully short on information, and links don't work anymore.
Kind regards,

Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Move to Debian9 systemvmtemplate
I think we can move to packer once we can get the Debian9 based
systemvmtemplate to work.
I think we should focus on doing this first and then focus on migration to a
new build system as a next step.
I spent some time today and with some help from veewee authors, I could get a
base template up and running:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/2211
The above PR branch is pushed on ASF remote and allows for cross-collaboration
with all ACS committers. Please collaborate with me on this and feel free to
push changes on the branch as separate commits and/or make changes to the PR.
Thanks.

Syed,
I did a bunch of work on XenServer with Packer [1] before leaving Citrix.
My stuff works rather well and was tested with XS 6.2, 6.5 and 7. It shouldn't
be hard to validate with newest XS and updated Packer - I just lack the infra
to do the testing.
