If you have a setup working, share your 'definition' with me. That would be fun!
I suggest the easiest way is to get an account on Github.
I assume that you have a working ruby environment as described in installation.md.
Then fork the veewee repository to your account and clone it to your computer:
$ git clone https://github.com/*your account*/veewee.git
$ cd veewee
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
If you don't use rvm, be sure to execute veewee through bundle exec:
$ alias veewee="bundle exec veewee"
Start your new definition on base of an existing one by executing:
$ veewee vbox define 'mynewos' '<your_os_of_choice>'
Now follow these best practices:
- Apply your changes in
./definitions/mynewos - Build it with
veewee vbox build 'mynewos' - Validate with
veewee vbox validate 'mynewos' - When it builds OK and all tests are green, move
definition/mynewosto a sensible directory under templates
Hint: Follow the naming schema of existing boxes - Commit the changes:
git commit -a - Push the changes to github:
git push - Go to github and issue a pull request:
https://github.com/*your account*/veewee/pull/new/master
