[Wheel-builders] manylinux vagrant box

[Michael Sarahan]

Hi Max,

I think Vagrant is one conceptual level higher than docker images.  IIRC,
it can output docker containers if you so choose.  The major perk of
vagrant to me would be if you could have one consolidated recipe for
obtaining requirements on several platforms.  I'm not sure about the
benefit over docker for a single OS - but that's just my opinion.  Maybe it
gives you a GUI, whereas docker is more command-line oriented?

For conda, I have done some work on Windows with vagrant and salt:
https://github.com/ContinuumIO/vagrant-images/pull/1 - and there's also a
linux  docker image much like the one for manylinux:
https://github.com/ContinuumIO/docker-images/tree/master/conda_builder_linux


If either of those are something you'd like to build on, I'd be happy to
talk with you.

Best,
Michael
