This is probably not the repo you are looking for.

If you just want to run the scheme code for the book Lisp In Small Pieces, have a look at appleby/Lisp-In-Small-Pieces. The README file for appleby/Lisp-In-Small-Pieces explains how to setup a virtual dev environment using the VMs and/or docker image created here.

If you just want an example of a packer template that builds an Arch Linux system, have a look at elasticdog/packer-arch. This repo is derived from elasticdog/packer-arch.

This repo contains two packer templates that build a virtual machine and a docker image suitable for running the scheme code in the appleby/Lisp-In-Small-Pieces repo.

The artifacts produced by this build are:

• a vagrant box for the vagrant virtualbox provider
• a virtualbox-compatible ovf in tar.gz format
• a docker image

To build the vagrant box and virtualbox ovf, run:

./wrapacker -v <VERSION>

where <VERSION> is just a bare version string, like 0.6.

Output files are placed in the output directory.

To build the docker image, run:

./build_docker -v <VERSION>

The image will be tagged as appleby/lisp-in-small-pieces:VERSION, and should appear in the list of images when you run docker images.
