At the beginning of each VMware build packer generates a random VNC password and prints it to the terminal / log. When copying a password from a terminal emulator with double-click, the text selection uses word boundaries to attempt to automatically detect where the password string is located. When the password contains weird characers like %^&# this parsing fails and you only get half the password. The reduction in characters does not significantly reduce the entropy of the password but improves user-friendliness when you actually want to use it.
Also deletedsome unused files
If using a builder that has an http server set up for file transfer,
expose the connection info to the shell provisioner through the environment
variable PACKER_HTTP_ADDR.
Closes#2869
- Can now tune delay using PACKER_KEY_INTERVAL
- Added implementation to all of VMware and QEMU
- Removed double delay for QEMU
- Default key delay of 100ms (as before)
- Added docs to QEMU and VMware pages
This option allows to set the extension of the ISO file after download.
Defaults to "iso". It makes sense for building Mac OS X guests, where the
bootable image is actually a DMG, not an ISO.
In particular, it is important for "parallels-iso" builder to set the right extension.
Ensure that all builders include FloppyDirectories in the StepCreateFloppy options.
Changed the way the unit-tests in common/step_create_floppy_test work to use the static test-fixtures directory instead of creating the paths dynamically.
Removed a duplicate line of documentation from parallels-pvm.html.md that occurred during rebasing.
Moved the support for recursive paths from the floppy_files keyword to the new floppy_contents keyword.
Shifted some of the code around to add better logging of what's actually being copied.
Added a couple of unit-tests for the new floppy_contents implementation.
Ensured that all files that were being added were also being included in state.FilesAdded so that the older unit-tests will work.
* The remotedisplay.vnc.ip vmx data key breaks ESXi, this commit prevents it
from being automatically added during VNC configuration when using the ESX5
driver.
* It can still be configured via the vmx_data section of the builder
template

Add support for using ctrl, shift and alt as key modifiers. So you can now achieve ctrl+c by using "<leftCtrlOn>c<leftCtrlOff>".
Updated documentation for new key stroke tokens.
When debugging a build (or maintaining an existing packer file), teach `packer build -debug` how to step through individual `boot_command`s in order to triage the packer file.
