Hi,
Is there such a thing as a revision control system (analogous to subversion or git) for libraries of virtual appliances?
Thanks,

Hello,
Yes and no. Seems to always be the answer with virtualizaiton.
You can create your own appliance repository using those tools and I think that may be the best approach. In most cases, there are repositories for the software within the appliance but never for the appliance itself as that is really just a build process.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for the info. So, assuming I have a collection of 'frozen' vm images, what would be the best tool to use for that? Subversion has space limitations, but I've seen git at least referred to as an option.
Thoughts?
