Also, Vagrant webpage doesn’t recommend using gem-based deployment of Vagrant and packages from the official site as recommended. They contain every dependency and Vagrant is self-contained (and it’s much harder to break it!). I tried looking at what would take to contribute OpenIndiana support to the upstream and found out that their build system uses Puppet.

I’ll provide and maintain the build infrastructure behind it. With OpenIndiana as a first class citizen, the Vagrant team will do releases (if somebody wants to have an IPS package from it, we can make that happen from official release). This way, we will have regular Vagrant fixes and releases and also be sure that nothing in OI can break it.

Hi Adam

Arch Linux seems to have found a tar.gz of the upstream packages that it 
repackages as arch package.
Have a look at 
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/vagrant

Maybe that would also be a way to get vagrant installed.
