Hello

you can put into variables all the info for ubuntu into

ubuntu.json

and all the debian into

debian.json

then use

packer build -var-file ubuntu.json template.json


if you need to use this on the provisioner, say you got different chef
playbooks, you could use then


{
  "variables": {
    "build_name": "",
    ..
  },
  },
  "builders": [
    {
      "name": "{{ user `build_name` }}",
      ..
      "type": "virtualbox-iso"
    }
  ],
  "provisioners": [
    {
      "only": "ubuntu"
      ...
    }
  ],
  "provisioners": [
    {
      "only": "debian"
      ..
    }
  ]
}

just add a variable to each json and the template for build_name

hope this helps.

alvaro.
