Vagrant >=1.6 deals poorly with progress bar output

[decklin]

Hopefully this will be fixed in newer versions of Vagrant, but as of 1.6.1, the provisioner logs every write to stdout/stderr on a new line, even if a program was printing a line (like a progress bar) character-by-character. This looks especially bad for wget because it defaults to the "dot" progressbar when connected to a non-TTY and prints a "." for each 1K downloaded. This will overwhelm many people's scrollback and it's a good idea to always review the entire provision log.

If you want to work around it for now, use the change in https://github.com/railsbridge-boston/railsbridge-vm/compare/wgetrc . This just makes the dots represent 1M instead of 1K, so there are fewer of them.

In the meantime, remember to use curl -s.

Still the case with Vagrant 1.6.3. Don't really have time to investigate but I rebased the wgetrc branch.
