Hi, I took some time to investigate how to regenerate the Development VM from scratch! I used Vagrant and Packer(.io).
Vagrant offers a best practice environment to distribute and run dev VMs, including a .box bundle format, and a few conventions (such as using a 'vagrant' user with default sudo privs). New users should feel as ease with it. Packer (from the same author/company) can generate VMs from scratch using ISO+preseed techniques, and then provision the VM using tools ranging from shell scripts to Puppet, and generates the appropriate .box. This is cleaner and safer than reusing one of the Vagrant Debian images lying around. Limitation: these tools are primarily built on VirtualBox. Support for libvirt/kvm is available through plugins in Vagrant, and is available in Packer except for the final .box generation. Attached is a first version. README enclosed :) It produces a ~520MB fusionforge-dev.box in a matter of minutes. Let me know if it works for you. Cheers! Sylvain
