Great, thanks for the quick response! i assume below advice still holds true, in that case.
______ You could start by cloning the mirage-skeleton repository and making a new example based on "console" that uses logging rather than printing. For modifying libraries, you'll need to know how to "opam pin" a modified package for testing. There's some useful information here: https://www.somerandomidiot.com/blog/2015/11/26/quick-changes-in-mirageos/ (however, I find it easier to look in the Makefile to find the dependencies, rather than reading the source of the mirage tool, and make sure you do "opam pin -k git" to pin in "mixed mode", or you'll have endless trouble with stale OASIS files) ______ i can start with https://github.com/mirage/mirage-net-xen/blob/995bcf518b7c8e41e7db79050948bb7ecc1046b2/lib/frontend.ml#L106 , as listed in the Pioneer Projects page. Is there a recommended regression test set? i looked around https://mirage.io/wiki/contributing, but couldn't find any pointers. Thanks a lot! madhuri.
