lxc or xen would work for developers only on linux. one of the benefits of vagrant is that you can share work with developers on other platforms. with lxc, theres also os limitations. at work we have linux and windows in our vagrant runs. xen could get around this, though the xen back end is pretty limited. i think the best solution would be a qrexec vagrant back end, syntactically compatible with the more common backends (virtualbox,vmware etc),something i plan on looking into when get qubes running again. too many of the alt back ends (lxc, xen) have syntax thats not easily worked around, so they're really only good for that backend. an obvious drawback is the lack of nesting, but few need that. of course this would also need packer and/or vagrant mutate support. maybe qubes-lite is the better solution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
