I gave a quick try at packaging the latest upstream release, and failed (might be trivially fixable by anyone with some experience in packaging Ruby stuff for Debian -- see Debian#741478 for details). Note that Vagrant apparently doesn't support being used as a library anymore; when trying to use our Rakefile with the latest Vagrant: It appears that Vagrant was not properly loaded. Specifically, the bundler context Vagrant requires was not setup. Please execute vagrant using only the `vagrant` executable. To sum up, if we want to keep Vagrant as the preferred build option for Tails ISO, we'll need: 1. Someone who maintains the package in Debian. 2. Someone who maintains our own Vagrant-related stuff (starting with converting the Rakefile stuff to using the `vagrant` executable, and figuring out a sane way to upgrade the basebox). 3. To decide whether we really want+can support concurrent versions of Vagrant; IMO, supporting the version in Debian testing/sid might be manageable, but trying to achieve anything more ambitious seems doomed to fail, considering the amount of work we've been able to put into #1 and #2 recently. Any idea if there's a good alternative to Vagrant, that requires less work from us? Would e.g. Docker be an option? Can Gitian be used without Vagrant, e.g. thanks to its LXC backend?
