Sure, I can do that.

Cool thanks.

To update, I'm able to build a systemvm appliance with vbox and able
to convert the disk image to vmdk, hyper-v vhd, qcow2 and ova
(vmware), but I've not tested them. Next week, I'll take help from
Prasanna to setup a jenkins job on j.c.o. I cannot do it on b.a.o, as
I need to test it first, fix the building process and it would need a
linux host that can run vbox. The total build time takes about ~25
mins on my laptop if internet speed is good enough.

Regards.
