This job download the ubuntu server install iso (if necessary), downloads the guest additions ISO (if necessary), creates a VM and runs all install steps, runs the VeeWee vagrant behavior tests to verify the VM, exports the VM to a vagrant .box file, destroys the vm used for authoring the base box and then imports the exported box into vagrant for later provisioning.

I wrote a blog post detailing this setup.

I run this as a an Execute shell step in a Jenkins build on my local mac with Jenkins running as my user and veewee checked out in the workspace for the job.

Added parameters to build lucid as well as precise.

Updated to allow multiple runs with the same release.
