Hello,

Do you have a documentation on wikitech explaining how to create/update
the existing images?  I could use a new image for the integration
project that would come prefilled with a bunch of packages.  The evil
idea is to boot a pool of instances to be consumed for CI testing
purposes, so I would want an image that build as fast as possible :-]

cheers,
