Request to add Windows boxes with VBox Guest Additions v6

vmabille-intel opened this issue · comments

Hi Gusztáv!

I noticed that older Windows images got removed from your cloud over the weekend (e.g. https://app.vagrantup.com/gusztavvargadr/boxes/windows-10).
Since we have an issue with newer images, which contain a VBox Guest Additions version 7 (#383), we were pinning our base images to the older versions that got removed. E.G.: 2102.0.2211 for the windows-10 box, and 1809.0.2211 for the windows-server-2019-standard box.

Could I therefore kindly ask for either the re-upload of some of the older images that got removed, or to upload a few windows images which contain VBox Guest additions version 6? The windows version itself is for our projects not relevant.

@vmabille-intel thanks for reaching out and sorry for the inconvenience.

Indeed, I clean up regularly versions which are older than 6 month. I don't store the images myself other than on Vagrant Cloud, so I cannot re-upload them, but I will try to rebuild a few of them with VirtualBox 6.1 asap.

Thank you so much, and no worries though!

@vmabille-intel I have published a new version with patch number 230501 for my core OS boxes with the VirtualBox guest additions downgraded to versiom 6.1.44. No need to pin this version, just the latest should work again now fine. Can you please try and take a look?

Just updated our images and everything works well again, many thanks @gusztavvargadr

@vmabille-intel that's great to hear, then I'll stick with the 6.1 for the time being and let's re-evaluate 7.0 again maybe after some stabilization period :)

Closing this issue now.
