Follow these steps to prepare your build environment:
1. Install VirtualBox:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
2. Install Vagrant: https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
3. Clone installer: git clone --recursive
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer.git
Note 1: MartinNowak already prepared boxes for FreeBSD and
Debian which are directly imported through the build script.
However, you must prepare your own OSX and Windows 7 boxes.
Instructions for preparing doing so are located here:
OSX => https://gist.github.com/MartinNowak/8156507
Windows7 => https://gist.github.com/MartinNowak/8270666
Steps for building are outlined here:

Tracking is done here:

Note 2: I am not vacating the post of Build Master. I have some
personal matters that require a significant amount of my time
over the next couple of months. I cannot promise to be on time
with the releases before October 15. Until then, I will do my
best to prepare releases as time permits.
As it stands: If there are no pending merges for the 2.066.1
branch, I will be able to prepare a RC before morning (time now
is 12:58 AM JST).
Thanks Andrew! This is most helpful. I will try this out this
weekend to be able to act as backup build master for 2.067
