Build RPM with Maven on Windows, OS X, etc. using Vagrant

Vagrantfile

# This quick and dirty vagrant set up will let you build RPMs on systems
# that don't (or don't easily) support building RPMs. Just place this
# Vagrantfile in your project root, or pull the "rpm-build" VM definition
# into your existing Vagrantfile if you're already using vagrant.
#
# The first 'vagrant up rpm-build' will set up the VM and build the RPMs
# Subsequent 'vagrant provision rpm-build' will rebuild the RPMs
# You can 'vagrant ssh rpm-build', go to the appropriate target/ for
# your project under /vagrant, and inspect your RPM with
# 'rpm -qlp --scripts <rpm file name>'.
#
# Assuming:
#   rpm-maven-plugin is already configured for your build
#   VirtualBox (or VMWare, etc.) is installed
#   Vagrant is installed
