• Images are under images directory
• Versions in recipe file overwrite the image version
• The images are tagged <name>:<version>
• The final image is called foss-tools:<tag>, so if you want to run multiple recipes modify the tag of foss-tools

• Dependancies handling
• Differentiate between git and non git based packages
• Add guidance how-to add tools to the build
• Compressed PDK
• Add examples
