If you have an issue with one of the images or you have a request to add or change a tool on one of our images:
- Create an issue in this repo
- Wait for approval or comments. Our images have real constraints. Primarily, disk space. So it's a value (broad adoption of that tool) vs. cost (disk space and on-going maintenance) proposition. Specify whether you will create a PR or if you are requesting for us to add it to the image.
- Optionally, create a PR.
The images are generated using Packer.
