Hello all,
First, I apologize for any mistakes you may find, as I'm not a native
English-speaker.
So, is there any follow-up on this?
I'm currently working on creating a vagrant basebox using Debian. Emmanuel
seemed to volunteer as an official maintainer but there is no basebox
available and I'd like to produce the most Debian-friendly box possible.
Best regards,
Stéphane Germain
