Wiki entry for ubuntu installation #2

I'd like to maintain up to date debian/ubuntu build instructions for awesome development. These instructions should be tested on a Ubuntu and eventually debian VM, and should make sure that the awesome development environment is easy to get up and running there.

maxsu commented 11 years ago

[ ] Build a generic debian VM
- Using Virtual Box?
- Using vagrant?
[ ] Pull awesome onto it
[ ] Document all requirements (
- git, build-essential
- x11 stacks
- lua stacks
(Optional) Write a configuration management script that summons a clean awesome test box.
- Vagrant build script
- Xephyr install and test script?
Document for the community

Vagrant is looking like a remarkable tool here!

We can

Make vagrant boxes for building on ubuntu 12.x and 13.x
Use the shell virtual machine provisioner
Let package maintainers write their own provisioning code or just use their own techniques.
Integrate build -> test code with CI packages that support vagrant
