Adding vagrant images to the Fedora build

[Jay Vyas]

Hi fedora ! Im reviving this thread about vagrant images.  

I'd like to use packer.io to build vagrant images as part of the fedora builds.  

I assume this means first we will need vagrant and packer packeged in fedora?  Or does fedora
allow the use of nonpackaged utilities to build side-artifacts, like vagrant-fedora images for qemu/vmware...

having ready to roll vagrant images for fedora would be a huge win for rapid testing and adoption of software stacks on emerging fedora distros!

To be an official Vagrant image, we need Chef, and while Sam Kottler is
working with Opscode to make that finally happen (awesome!), I don't think
we want that to be a blocker.

Additionally, the conventions for a Vagrant image are significantly
different from what we want for the cloud image. (Root password set to
"vagrant", for example.) So, the plan is to provide those "semi-officially"
from fedorpeople.org and the Cloud SIG wiki.

As we get easier technology in Koji for making images, we might revisit for
F20.
