* [http://packer.io packer.io] can be used to build stage4 (containing a kernel) images and seems to work for gentoo. Packer often gets used to build Vagrant boxes.
** [https://github.com/pierreozoux/packer-warehouse/blob/master/var-files/gentoo/generate_latest.sh gentoo script from packer-warehouse] used with packer to create a minimal gentoo vagrant box
** currently packer and packer-warehouse do not seem capable of building gentoo machines out of the box, I tested this with osx/virtualbox using gentoo stage3 and portage snapshots [[User:Lucas|Lucas]] ([[User talk:Lucas|talk]]) 11:19, 11 January 2014 (CET)
* [https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee veewee] vagrant box builder (builds stage4 images in a manner similar to packer
** has support for a massive amount of guest os types
*** installs puppet/chef using gem due to the oldish versions in gentoo (and probably elsewhere)
** supports kvm and others as host os
** while testing with osx/virtualbox I was able to build and export a vagrant box from gentoo stage3 and portage snapshots without any hiccups [[User:Lucas|Lucas]] ([[User talk:Lucas|talk]]) 11:19, 11 January 2014 (CET)
