When Will 1.8.2 Drop?

[James Carr]

Hi,

This simple fix (https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/commit/9dbdb9397a92d4fc489e9afcb022621df7f60d11) is all that is keeping my team from using pure guest based ansible provisioning. Is there any timetable for when 1.8.2 will drop?

Thanks!

James

I ended up checking out the vagrant-installers project (https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-installers) and was able to build a version for Windows based on the latest code in master. Here is what I ended up doing to build an installer:

Have Puppet and WiX installed and in your path

http://wixtoolset.org/releases/

https://downloads.puppetlabs.com/windows/

Clone vagrant-installers project. 

If you have 32-bit Puppet 3.x installed then you won't need to change anything but if you have Puppet 4 installed then a small change is required to add the codedir parameter to the argument list in run.ps1 -     "--codedir=$TmpDir", 

(There is a pull request in vagrant-installers that does this for Linux)

If you have 64 bit puppet installed, fix the path to puppet in run.ps1

In cmd.exe running as administrator:

Run substrate\run.bat to build the substrate, argument is folder where it will put substrate zip.

substrate\run.bat c:\temp\output

Run package\package.bat, arguments are the subtrate zip and the branch or tag you want to build:

package\package.bat c:\temp\output\substrate_windows_x86_64.zip master
