I know nobody is interested. But I don't understand why taking an approach like I did with virtual-gemstone [1] is not a good fit to produce applicances and make it possible for people to adjust their own. The stuff in the repository is quite old so I don't think it will run out of the box.

A short summary:

- you provide an iso image of your preferred linux distro
- veewee installs a basic linux
- it hands control over to vagrant 
- vagrant configures the system
- vagrant installs chef 
- chef uses the available recipes to install all the software you need

I made this up to installing nginx, gemstone, install seaside in gemstone, etc. If everything it is one command to invoke that spits out a read made virtual appliance that runs gemstone. I never did it but it is prepared so that you could generate the appliances from a jenkins server.

just saying,

Norbert
