Subject: [ruby-core:67680] [ruby-trunk - Misc #10757] Vagrant environment	for MRI contributors

Issue #10757 has been updated by Anthony Crumley.


That is a good question.  I don't know why but it is what is recommended in the developer how to and the Travis CI setup uses it as well.

https://travis-ci.org/ruby/ruby/jobs/46524624#L89

When I try to use ruby2.1 I get the following result.

vagrant@precise64:~$ sudo aptitude build-dep -y ruby2.1
Unable to find the source package for "ruby2.1".

This patch includes a Vagrant file that will quickly and easily setup a development environment for MRI contributors.  Following are some benefits of having a vagrant setup for contributors.

* Increase the number of contributors by making it easier to get started.
* Easy setup for someone that wants to contribute to the Ruby test suite but does not really want to become a C developer.  (This is my personal motivation)
* A canonical environment to create and work through issues on.
