[DISCUSS] upgrade of system templates
Devs,
This has bitten us in indecent places time after time and after some
contemplating the solution seems quite simple. An api call implemented in
the TemplateService that lets you MarkTemplateAsSystemVmTemplate(optional
uuid, optional name). No other params are needed as the template should
allready contain most information. The actual marking code is implemented
several upgrade versions and only needs to simplified from that
implementation.
Do I miss something?

sure, but I never read docs. here is the job script:
```
whoami
export PATH=/home/jenkins/.rvm/bin:$PATH
export rvm_path=/home/jenkins/.rvm
export HOME=/home/jenkins/
cd tools/appliance
if [ -d iso ]; then
rm -fvr iso
fi
if [ -d dist ]; then
rm -fvr dist
fi
if [ -d box ]; then
rm -fvr box
fi
if [ -d /home/jenkins/iso ]; then
cp -rv /home/jenkins/iso .
fi
if [ ! -d iso ]; then
mkdir iso
ln -s $WORKSPACE/*.iso iso/
fi
export clean_vbox=1
export BUILD_NUMBER=
export version=4.6.0
export branch=master
chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh systemvm64template
```

Rafael, check the tools/appliance dir or the systemvm template builds in
jenkins. you'll find the prereqs in there.

Hi Daan,
That is something I would like to use. However, there is somethings that I
do not fully understand when we create/customize the system VMs.
What does an Operating System need to work as a system VM? I mean, does it
need an agent to be installed into the VM? Does it need some version of
some software to be installed (Java, Python, nfs-commons and others)? Does
it need to be password enabled?
