Fixes #6555 See #6419 for more discussion. This was done on OSX 10.10 running the latest VirtualBox (5.0.2) & gitian-builder

I've updated the VM creation, and Debian install screenshots. Updated the Debian ISO link to 8.1.0 Added a work around to allow root to login over SSH (needs review) Added make & ubuntu-archive-keyring to the list of packages we install make - so we can use the depends downloader to seed the gitian cache ubuntu-archive-keyring - squashes warnings such as

This still needs some improvements, but wanted to get it up for feedback.

Testing this change now. Wondering if it would be preferable at some point to codify these steps in a Vagrantfile? That'd be a bit more automated, but still transparent.

Any reason we want to go through the process of editing with nano manually instead of just saying something like "Run sed -i 's/^PermitRootLogin.*/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config"?

Some small comments, but in general the changes look good to me!

Perhaps out of scope, but the "Register and download the Apple SDK" bit of the linked instructions is pretty confusing, given that we've said nothing so far about being within an OS X context.

fanquake commented at 7:37 AM on September 3, 2015:

The Apple SDK is only required for gitian building the OSX binary, Linux and Windows can be built without it. There's nothing OSX specific about this guide or the release process.

That has been suggested before. But at some point a human has to manually execute some steps, and be able to verify them. Gitian is already supposed to automate the process of building in VMs. Automating the creation of VMs to run Gitian may be a step too far (also because this has to work in Windows with VirtualBox)
