@section Setting up a build server
Integrating the build server setup into the main scripts is a work in progress.
Some things may not work properly yet. Talk to CiaranG if you're trying to use
this and have problems.
In addition to the basic setup previously described, you will also need
a Vagrant-compatible Ubuntu Precise base box called 'precise32'. You can
create one of these for yourself from standard Ubuntu installation media, as
the specification for what's required to be Vagrant-compatible is very well
defined. This is the sensible and secure way to do it, since you know what's
in it. If you insist on taking a shortcut, ask CiaranG about it on IRC.

Once it's complete you'll have a new base box called 'buildserver' which is

instruct it to do all the hard work within the virtual machine.
The first time a build is done, a new virtual machine is created using the
'buildserver' box as a base. A snapshot of this clean machine state is saved
for use in future builds, to improve performance. You can force discarding
of this snapshot and rebuilding from scratch using the @code{--resetserver}
switch with @code{fdroid build}.
