* removed packer.Cache and references since packer.Cache is never used except in the download step. The download step now uses the new func packer.CachePath(targetPath) for this, the behavior is the same.
* removed download code from packer that was reimplemented into the go-getter library: progress bar, http download restart, checksuming from file, skip already downloaded files, symlinking, make a download cancellable by context.
* on windows if packer is running without symlinking rights and we are getting a local file, the file will be copied instead to avoid errors.
* added unit tests for step_download that are now CI tested on windows, mac & linux.
* files are now downloaded under cache dir `sha1(filename + "?checksum=" + checksum) + file_extension`
* since the output dir is based on the source url and the checksum, when the checksum fails, the file is auto deleted.
* a download file is protected and locked by a file lock,
* updated docs
* updated go modules and vendors
The new step collects together all the required build artifacts and
places them in the output directory.
* Reintroduce/add the code removed from step export to preserve the
legacy export directory structure when skip_export is unset/false
* Add a place holder for a future function that will move just the VHD
files from the build directory to the output directory when
skip_export is true
* Add tests for current functionality and placeholder tests for future
functions
The export process now exports the VM directly from the build directory
into the output directory. There are no intermediate steps or copying of
files involved. This means that there is no longer any benefit in having
a separate directory to house the VHD files - see #5206 for the
reasoning behind the introduction of this feature.
If a user wishes to house the build files on a separate disk from the
output directory (perhaps for performance reasons or due to disk space
limitations) they can still do so through the use of `temp_path`.
PR #5631 introduced code to build/create disks directly in the output
directory if `skip_export` was set in an attempt to optimise the build
process. These are no longer required.
vmconnect.exe comes as part of Hyper-V and is the tool used by Hyper-V Manager to connect with a virtual machine. This commits sets behaviour the same as virtualbox and vmware to display the virtual machine connection unless headless is set in the template.
