[oi-dev] virtualbox 6.1.26 ?

Sun Sep 12 17:15:30 UTC 2021

As far as I can see vagrant works fine.

OpenIndiana is an excellent platform for vagrant with provider VirtualBox.

Vagrant also supports other providers such as VMware but obviously I use VirtualBox as provider.

Vagrant currently requires ruby and bsdtar (libarchive.de).
The Vagrant README file encourages you to compile your own ruby version which makes some sense.

Vagrant 2.2.19dev installs on top of ruby 2.7.4 fine.  It also works with the system provided ruby-26.

Vagrant is installing additional 'gems' and vagrant script/executable.

However on the Hashicorp (makers of vagrant) community list I've been warned that they are redesigning vagrant (supposedly) not to use ruby any longer (they may switch language - somebody said there).

I could give it a try ruby-27 and ruby-30 and see how far I get.

Regards,
David Stes
