Assaf, that.is.so.cool !

Really, your work is a great help to any project striving for
portability (VM setup and 'suggested command line').

You mean letting projects use the VMs as a CI service ?
That would be much more valuable then docker based CIs.
Maybe with Gitlab integration ? I guess, you would find a sponsor for
CPU and bandwidth...

Would you collect project-based 'build recipes' ?


Thanks for that information.
I'll test your VMs soon :-)
