Details

Similar to how we build packages on centos and ubuntu, we need a clean, reproducible build environment for building osx packages for multiple osx version in use (currently 10.6, 10.7 and 10.10)
Consider parallels on a single mini, perhaps?
I've been using VMware Fusion on my macbook and works well. I'm thinking we could allocate a r7 installed with 10.10.5 running Fusion on top. From there we could netboot (images from DS) and puppetize VMs for 10.6, 10.7, and 10.10. Then take snapshots of each. Before building anything, we could use the vol snapshots as a baseline for clean build environemnts. When done, terminate the instance so no build cruft is left sitting around.
Unfortunately we don't have the cycles to work on this.
