Hello Ken, Thanks for sharing, I had only a brief look. In the meantime some early thoughts while it downloads the data.

Well, you need only the recipe to build the VM. Fortunately there are a lot of tools that help to do this. Unfortunately there are too many, and not all of them focus on the reproducible side... In the meantime I saw few main problems in your current document: - No "One build step" - Hardcoded path, for example root = "/Users/mankoff/Documents/Papers/B/Brinkerhoff/" - I did not found the Grass installation part, I guess I will have an error later... - Missing latex toolchain installation Are you interested in fixing those issues? If yes please share your progress or ideas. Best, Daniele
