Please add ability to prevent update of the VBoxGuestExtensions
ToontjeM opened this issue · 3 comments
Updating VBoxGuestExtensions takes time and is in most cases not needed. Adding the following code snippet to the Vagrantfiles gives the user the ability to prevent these time-consuming updates.
if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-vbguest") then
config.vbguest.auto_update = false
end
Of course, the user needs to have the vagrant-vbguest plugin installed.
Why are you using the vagrant-vbguest plugin if you don't want the guest additions to be updated?
For some VM's i do, for some don't. Using the plugin allows me to define this in the Vagrantfile.
We assume that the majority of users who install this plugin want to get the guest additions updated.
It would be counter productive to disable it by default.
As you suggest, if one really wants to disable it, they can can add that snippet of code in their Vangrantfile.
