Support for default options in 'vagrant init'

[KieranP]

I propose the support of a ~/.vagrantrc file, which is parsed when running commands.

This file, of whatever format (yaml, ruby or otherwise), would store default options that might show up. Right now, in particular, it would be very handy for specifying the default box made, i,e.

YAML:
default_base_box: debian_lenny

Ruby:
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
config.vm.default_box = 'debian_lenny'
end

This is good. Instead of doing a YAML version, we'll probably place a Vagrantfile in the home directory and inject that into the loading process. If you take a look at the Vagrant::Config class, you'll see that it was built for this sort of thing :)

Yep, hence the Ruby section above. The Vagrantfile would need to be a hidden file though. I don't want another file in the Home directory ^_^

[mitchellh]

I meant the vagrant home directory, which defualts to ~/.vagrant/ but is configurable.

[mitchellh]

This is now doable. Any Vagrantfile in the configured home page (defaults to ~/.vagrant/) is now injected into the sequence between box config and project config. The exact Vagrantfile sequence at this point is this:

Default (with gem) => Box => User Defaults (in home dir) => Project specific
