Hello Francis, What ever question you have, and any gap in the documentation, please let us know, and we will work on them.
I personally am very happy to answer any question, and provide/test any vagrantfile you may have. to answer your questions: Since Vagrant 1.5 there is the option to especify user/box. the official package is the one available for download in vagrantup.com, that is hosted on bintray. Some OS provide their own version of the package, but is upto them keep that up to date. Since vagrant use some binary packages, some distributions decide take some components your (like fedora remove some libs required for vagrant-share), so for full vagrant experience, I think is better go with the official binary. Back to the version. When you try to use hashicorp/precise64, atlas fwd you by default to https://atlas.hashicorp.com/hashicorp/boxes/precise64 Here the box have a json file that vagrant download: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/hashicorp/boxes/precise64.json and there is all the information available for versions, providers, etc: below is a sample of these json file ordered by jq. any question you may have, please feel free to ask, and I am sure somebody here will help.
