I am building a script that installs and sets up all the requirements needed to run the testsuite, so I think this would be the right place to have this. I think a solution that adheres to POLA would be to check if Vagrant is installed and if not install version 2.3.7. > Is there a place that distributes Vagrant 2.3.7's tar ball > without requiring the user to run Javascript code? You could link to that. The binary is on: https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.3.7/ which I probably would use in the script above. However, https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.3.7/ does not distribute the source code. > Otherwise, how about if you redistribute Vagrant 2.3.7's tar ball? I could put the source.tar on www.gnu.org/s/parallel I do not expect that tar would get many hits. /Ole
