Trying to understand if the project has been abandoned or what is going on.
I have set up a physical machine with a clean install of Arch Linux. Installed Docker, Go, Virtual Box, OpenSSH, Packer, Git. Cloned the repo, built the arch Linux packer image using the instructions from the website. No problem once I got all the dependencies figured out and adjusted some of the timings.
I then cloned this repo, and it fails building the waterfront project with the proto buffer packages, with the ProtoBufferIsVersion3 check of the autogenerated file.
My intention was to provide some pull requests back, but I wanted to test them first. I have been testing with Hyper-V and it turns out that the current set of scripts assumes that all available drives are used when it boots the PODs and on Hyper-V, you cannot disable the Floppy drives, therefore it tries to set up the floppy drives as a storage device (thus it hangs). A simple check if the device is a (\dev\fd?) device in the loop would prevent that. Plus some changes to the Readme.md on the prereqs such as docker, OpenSSH, etc required on a fresh install.
