Hi guys,

I have created a project for building the A20 linux images using Vagrant.
https://github.com/smysnk/a20-olimex-build_linux-vagrant

For those of you who haven't heard of Vagrant before:
"Vagrant is a tool for building complete development environments. With an easy-to-use workflow and focus on automation, Vagrant lowers development environment setup time, increases development/production parity, and makes the "works on my machine" excuse a relic of the past."

TLDR; It is a wrapper around vmware/virtualbox for setting up virtual machines quickly.

By using vagrant you can create quickly reproducible build environments so as to remove the headaches involved with installing build tools and other prerequisites.

Instructions can be viewed on github.

Questions or comments?

Thanks,

Josh

Edit: I've now created a branch for building Arch under Vagrant, although I am having some problems getting it to boot.
