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.

I already considered that option, but the problem is that Vagrant packages compile and bundle Ruby interpreter and there is no package for Solaris, which we could use. I am afraid that there are only 2 approaches:

1) package gems and maintain it ourselves
2) use the official build system and make contribution there
