They are in the progress to rewrite it to golang. I saw the code some time ago on their Github. But they are fighting to keep the ruby codes somehow available. Interested how they end up doing the rewrite.

In Any case a vagrant package would be nice.

Good luck packaging.

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.

Hello

Last time I checked vagrant did not build but good to know it now does
:) Any package would be welcome. Want to do an update to virtualbox and
vagrant/ruby?

As I have stated before: We need more people helping with OI Hipster. We
lack contributions in almost every area:
creating/updating packages, testing and documentation. Things don't
happen magically. Efforts and engagement by volunteers is needed.
The companies involved in illumos seem only be interested in its server
use. So, the complex part of creating a desktop is up to the community...

This is true, I've already contributed docs under
http://docs.openindiana.org/handbook/community/ for Smalltalk-80 and TexLive
2021.

But of course there's an enormeous amount of other work to be done ...

Also keeping the docs up to date is a lot of work, I just noticed that the
TexLive docs still refer to TL 2020 not to the current TL 2021 ...  Same thing
for Squeak / Smalltalk the docs should be updated as well.

David Stes
