chroot VM build

The builds were performed in two separate chroot jails so they did not

Side question - I'm curious how you go about doing a chroot build.  In
another thread you could you post some more info on this?

We don't always use chroot but we currently do to build the VM as the build

- may download stuff from the internet

- requires installation of 32 bit compat libs

and we don't want to junk up the system with any of that. Hence, we have a script that creates the chroot for us and prepares all the build dependencies (script attached below). Then we do $ chroot <chroot name> and start compilation (the attached script will create a couple of helper scripts to do that).

Does that answer your question?

Cheers,

Max
