Bento is a project that encapsulates Veewee definitions for building Vagrant baseboxes. We use these boxes internally at Opscode for testing Hosted Chef, Private Chef and our open source cookbooks.
These basebox definitions are originally based on work done by Tim Dysinger to make "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) modular baseboxes. Thanks Tim!
The following baseboxes are publicly available and were built using this project. Note that our baseboxes no longer include Chef Client. Vagrant can be instructed to install Chef at runtime using the vagrant-omnibus plugin.
64-bit boxes:
32-bit boxes:
Older baseboxes include Chef.
The following base boxes were built with Chef 11.4.4.

The following base boxes were built with Chef 11.4.0.

The following base boxes were built with Chef 11.2.0. (No 32-bit boxes were built for Chef 11.2.0.)
The following base boxes were built with Chef 10.18.2.

First, clone the project, then install the required Gems with Bundler.
$ git clone git://github.com/opscode/bento.git
$ cd bento
$ bundle install
List available baseboxes that can be built:
$ bundle exec veewee vbox list
Build, for example, the ubuntu-12.04 basebox.
$ bundle exec veewee vbox build ubuntu-12.04
You can validate the basebox using Veewee's built in validator.
However note that the test for Ruby (and Puppet) will fail. The Ruby
installation is in /opt/chef/embedded, and we do not add the bin
directory to the $PATH, and we don't use Puppet internally.
$ bundle exec veewee vbox validate ubuntu-12.04
Aside from that, the basebox should be ready to use. Export it:
$ bundle exec veewee vbox export ubuntu-12.04
Congratulations! You now have ./ubuntu-12.04.box, a fully functional
basebox that you can then add to Vagrant and start testing cookbooks.
Veewee reads the definition specified and automatically builds a
VirtualBox machine. The VirtualBox guest additions and the target OS
ISO are downloaded into the iso/ directory.
We use Veewee version 0.3.0.alpha+ because it contains fixes for building CentOS boxes under certain circumstances.
The definitions themselves are split up into directories that get symlinked into specific basebox directories.
Most of the files are symlinked for a particular box. The one
exception is the definition.rb file, which contains the specific
configuration for the Veewee session for a basebox, including the ISO
filename, its source URL, and the MD5 checksum of the file.
