-This document briefly describes how to update VMs on Cirrus.
-
-Examples of when you need to do this:
-
-  - to update crun, conmon, or some other package(s)
-  - to add and/or remove an OS (eg drop f31, add f33)
-  - to change system config (eg containers.conf or other /etc files)
-  - to change kernel command-line (boot time) options
-
-This is a TWO-STEP process: you need to submit a PR with a magic [CI:IMG]
-description string, wait for it to finish, grab a magic string from the
-results, then resubmit without [CI:IMG].
-
-Procedure, Part One of Two:
-
-  1) Create a working branch:
-
-     $ git co -b my_branch_name
-
-  2) Make your changes. Typically, zero or more of the following files:
-
-         .cirrus.yml
-         contrib/cirrus/packer/*_packaging.sh
-
-     I said zero because sometimes you just want to update VMs
-     with the latest in dnf or ubuntu repos. That doesn't require
-     changing anything here, simply running new dnf/apt installs.
-
-  3) Commit your changes. Be sure to include the magic [CI:IMG] string:
-
-     $ git commit -asm'[CI:IMG] this is my commit message'
-
-  4) Submit your PR:
-
-     $ gh pr create --fill --web
-
-
-  --------------------------  INTERMISSION  --------------------------
-  ...in which we wait for CI to turn green. In particular, although
-  we only really need 'test_build_cache_images' (45 minutes or so)
-  to get the required magic number strings, please be a decent
-  human being and wait for 'verify_test_built_images' (another hour)
-  so we can all have confidence in our process. Thank you.
-  --------------------------  INTERMISSION  --------------------------
-
-
-Procedure, Part Two of Two:
-
-  1) When 'test_build_cache_images' completes, click it, then click
-     'View more details on Cirrus CI', then expand the 'Run build_vm_image'
-     accordion. This gives you a garishly colorful display of lines.
-     Each color is a different VM.
-
-  2) Verify that each VM has the packages you require. (The garish log
-     doesn't actually list this for all packages, so you may need to
-     look in the 'verify_test_built_images' log for each individual
-     VM. Click the 'package_versions' accordion.)
-
-  3) At the bottom of this log you will see a block like:
-
-       Builds finished. The artifacts of successful builds are:
-       ubuntu-19: A disk image was created: ubuntu-19-podman-6439450735542272
-       fedora-31: A disk image was created: fedora-31-podman-6439450735542272
-       .....
-
-     The long numbers at the end should (MUST!) be all identical.
-
-  4) Edit .cirrus.yml locally. Find '_BUILT_IMAGE_SUFFIX' near the
-     top. Copy that long number ("6439450735542272", above) and paste
-     it here, replacing the previous long number.
-
-  5) Wait for CI to turn green. I know you might have skipped that,
-     because 'test_build_cache_images' finishes long before 'verify',
-     and maybe you're in a hurry, but come on. Be responsible.
-
-  6) Edit the PR description in github: remove '[CI:IMG]' from the
-     title. Again, *in github*, in the web UI, use the 'Edit' button
-     at top right next to the PR title. Remove the '[CI:IMG]' string
-     from the PR title, press Save. If you forget to do this, the
-     VM-building steps will run again (taking a long time) but it
-     will be a waste of time.
-
-  7) Update your PR:
-
-       $ git add .cirrus.yml  (to get the new magic IMAGE_SUFFIX string)
-       $ git commit --amend   (remove [CI:IMG] for consistency with 6)
-       $ git push --force
-
-You can probably take it from here.
