Building the boxes

In order to build the boxes you need to have the lxc-download template available on your machine. If you don't have one around please create one based on this and drop it on your lxc templates path (usually /usr/share/lxc/templates).

git clone https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc-base-boxes.git
cd vagrant-lxc-base-boxes
make precise

By default no provisioning tools will be included but you can pick the ones you want by providing some environmental variables. For example:

PUPPET=1 CHEF=1 SALT=1 BABUSHKA=1 \
make precise

Will build a Ubuntu Precise x86_64 box with latest Puppet, Chef, Salt and Babushka pre-installed.
