Why basketane?
"Basketane is a polycyclic alkane with the chemical formula C10H12. The name is taken from its structural similarity to a basket shape." see wikipedia
Caros 15.12 supports KVM, it's like a basket.
Well, what should we add to the basket? How can we show it works? What could we do next? What do you need?
First Patch: Caros itself. We will add a little HowTo about setting up self hosted package feeds.
Second Patch: little tiny KVMs, i.e. unit tests like KVM-unit-tests. It is a kind of positive egoism. To show it works and alert ourself when it's broken.
Btw. CarOS is a rolling release - we drop a new release every 16th of a month. You can download an ISO-, OVA- or sdcard-image for CarOS - release 15.12 or set up your own buildroot using the REDOMAT definition
