Not sure what exactly we need to do to script the build but the way itw orks is using a linux host it clones a lvm snapshot spins up a vm and does the tasks inside of the vm. It then shuts it down and removes the snapshot. We then just have to manage the master snapshot used and do not have to have a windows machine up 24/7.

(possibly only running on demand). Koji does not support osx but I was told the amount of work should not be too much. Afaik we can not virtualise it at all and would need to run a OSX box > We could of course just say: sorry, no non free oses in our > infrastructure, but I fear this will result in builds done ad-hock on > someones test machine that aren't reproducible or all the other things > we expect from products we release. ;( I am sure if we say no that is exactly what will happen. In the short term I am pushing to make those test machines be boxes/vms at my desk but that is not long term sustainable > Mostly this is just a heads up, but if anyone has ideas, feel free to > bring them up. ;) Thanks, and as ick as it is, the goal is noble, make it easier to run get fedora up and running.
