Hey there, It's been a while since I last dropped by for an annoucement<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vagrant-up/6dGsiOlHSNE/s40lg0X1Dt8J> so I thought it was the time to share some updates for the plugins I maintain :-)
Starting with the "boring" stuff, by now most of you are probably aware of this but the vocker [1] plugin has been deprecated since its functionality has been merged back into Vagrant core on 1.4+ and the same happened with vagrant-global-status [2] as its functionality will be provided by Vagrant 1.6+ [3]. Bindler [4] was abandoned because of some major changes introduced on 1.4+ with the new plugin management implementation that uses Bundler and although the functionality is not yet provided by Vagrant itself, the changes required to make the plugin compatible with 1.4+ would take a lot of time, so we believe that efforts should be best focused on providing the functionality from within Vagrant itself instead of a third party plugin. Getting to the cool stuff, vagrant-cachier have received many updates over the last 3 months including a whole lot of backwards incompatibilities for the good and some cool stuff like the "Generic" cache buckets [5] and support for offline provisioning of apt-packages by caching /var/lib/apt/lists [6]. For the full changelog please check [7] and make sure you read it in case you are upgrading from a version prior to 0.6.0. vagrant-lxc has also received a lot of updates [8] and the good news is that I released an initial 1.0.0 alpha version over the weekend, including support for Vagrant 1.5+, naming containers from the Vagrantfile, support for NFS / rsync synced folders, new base boxes and many small improvements. Coming next is support for private networks and cloning containers that will make up for the final 1.0.0. Last but not least, support for notifying provisioning status has been added to vagrant-notify [9], so you can now `vagrant up` and go surf the web because the plugin will let you know when provisioning finishes :-) [1] - https://github.com/fgrehm/vocker [2] - https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-global-status [3] - https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/pull/3225 [4] - https://github.com/fgrehm/bindler [5] - http://fgrehm.viewdocs.io/vagrant-cachier/buckets/generic [6] - https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-cachier/pull/84#issue-27311414 [7] - https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-cachier/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md [8] - https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md [9] - https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-notify Happy hacking! -- Fábio Rehm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Vagrant" group.
