Provide a docker image to make it easy to try Pyston

[kmod]

Or maybe some other tool (Vagrant was suggested at one point). This gets asked for fairly regularly and I think is appreciated in other projects when available.

We're happy to help out from the Pyston side but if anyone with some experience setting up docker containers wants to give this a go, it would really helpful :)

I simply made for v0.4 as sample You can pull image by docker pull corona10/pyston:0.4 And also here is the link

but in my opinion we can do better job with automated build for provide latest pyston docker image

+1 for a docker image. Should be pretty easy considering this should already build on Ubuntu (version? precise?). Could just use a base image that starts with that version of Ubuntu and then apt-get anything else that is needed. Also, could use Docker Hub automated builds so dev releases can be tried easily.

I used Vagrant to build Pyston for a while, this is the Vagrant file I used: https://gist.github.com/aisk/efd38d84575ed7087280

I think we can provide docker and vagrant envs both to let people choose which they want (since use docker in OSX is not straight-forwar), and maintain both of them seems not a hard work.

for what i can tell an automated build seems out of its resources limits (2h and afair 1GB RAM, 1 CPU and 30GB drive).

i suppose a debian package would be a good idea anyway. if that dependency on texlive-extra-utils with its vast amount of dependencies wouldn't be required a build may fit within the limits.
