vagrant-guest-msys2

A plugin for Windows guests running sshd from MSYS2.

Implemented capabilities:

• halt with shutdown -a and shutdown -s -t 1 -c "Vagrant Halt" -f -d p:4:1

  • This is needed to avoid path automagical argument conversion (e.g. /s would by default be converted to c:\msys32\s )
  • See
    • http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion
    • https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/Porting/#filesystem-namespaces
    • msys2/MSYS2-packages#84

• insert_public_key and remove_public_key are inherited from linux guest and should be correct

• rsync is unfortunately not yet ready as MSYS2 rsync does not support compression and parameter "-z" is hard-coded in Vagrant code

Usage

• Build
  • gem build vagrant-guest-msys2.gemspec
• Install locally
  • vagrant plugin install vagrant-guest-msys2-*.gem
