I just tried this out on a 2011 imac and it worked very well. It was all
very smooth. This is for the 6.7 release.
How difficult would it be to automatically create a docker image for each
development version?
To do actual development, one would also want git, the git-trac command, a
way to launch a terminal in the virtual machine (in general, a way to edit
files). Can you update the README.md with hints on how to go about doing
this?
