Build Farm

Many thanks to Philipp Pagel for writing the original script that this is based on

The original script seemed to aim for an interactive installation on genuine hardware which did not have peripherals such as a keyboard/monitor etc

Here, his script has been modified to:

• Have a completely non-interactive, fully-automatic installation
• Focus on building & running in QEMU, rather than on actual hardware

With these changes, it's usable as the basis for a "build farm" to build packages for multiple distributions/architectures

What's included

So far, VMs of:

• Debian Stable amd64
• Debian Stable i386
• Debian Stable arm64

Usage

The build farm is built by the autobuild -s setup script.
