Comment (by kalxas):

 Good news, the error message after the chroot part is no longer there in
 Xenial, which means that the build process does not teardown the build
 host anymore (which required a manual reboot until now).

 I have prepared a small bash script to trigger a git pull, an iso build,
 log post-processing and finally an automated upload of the resulting files
 to a remote server, and it worked flawlessly, leaving the build host in a
 perfect state.

 I think the best way forward would be to replace the existing bootstrap.sh
 script with a build.sh which will automate the whole build process.
 (Actually the bootstrap.sh will remain and still be used internally)

 What is now missing is some git magic to figure out when a cron-job should
 trigger a build. After that we can have a completely automated build
 process.

 I also think this is a good time to re-organize the installers. We had
 some discussion with Brian some months ago, we should discuss this during
 a project meeting.
