[Freedombox-discuss] Tools to speed up development on the freedombox

[Stefan Cocora]

Vagrant knows to download files only via http and local file as far as I
know.
If I make a torrent you'll have to download it manually then import it.
If it is on an http location then vagrant does all the steps for you
automatically: download, import, vagrant up.

Regards,
Stefan
