Have Veewee download additional files? #1093

Closed courtney-miles closed 8 years ago

courtney-miles commented 8 years ago

Is there a way to have Veewee download additional files for use during installation?

Specifically I would like to use this in the Gentoo template. Veewee downloads the relevant ISO just once, but the installation process requires a tar.bz file which is 240 MB.

I'm trying to fix a few things in the Gentoo template and having to wait for the 240 MB tar.bz file to download each time is time consuming on my connection.

I was hoping Veewee might be able to download this in advanced, much like it does with the ISO, only downloading it if it does not exists, and then make it available to the virtual box.

I'm not sure if that's feasible or not.

I think I found my answer at https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee/blob/master/doc/build_hooks.md

yep, use before_create to check if file exist and download it or give instructions how to download it, and use after_postinstall to upload it to the VM
