Boot2Docker always downloads version 1.7

[peggyl]

Boot2Docker 1.6.0 and 1.5.0 both seem to be downloading the Boot2Docker 1.7.0 ISO image. Is this expected, or should the ISO image version match the OS X installer / boot2docker-cli version (as implied on release notes)?

This is on OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks), with Go 1.4.2.

Steps to reproduce:

• Download and run Boot2Docker-1.6.0.pkg from releases. Also verified with 1.5.0, and may possibly be reproduced with other < 1.7.0 versions.
• Run boot2docker init or boot2docker download. Expected seems like it'd be 1.6.0 (same as OS X installer), but 1.7.0 is always downloaded.

There are issues later on where the client seems unable to connect to the daemon and boot2docker becomes unresponsive (to info, stop, delete commands). I'm not sure if this is the cause, but might it be related?

Note: I was trying to go back to 1.6.0 because of other issues running 1.7.0 (I'll revisit that).

Output:

I am noticing the same problem on 1.7.1. Google's Cloud SDK seems incompatible with Docker 1.7.1. I downgraded boot2docker to 1.7.0. But boot2docker download still grabs the 1.7.1 ISO file regardless. As a result I can't use the Cloud SDK against the last known working version 1.7.0. See this discussion and this bug for details.

How can I specify which version of the ISO should be downloaded (instead of always downloading the most recent version)?

Thanks, Ingo

Is there any workaround to make this work

Sorry, this repository is long-since deprecated in favor of Docker Toolbox (whose usage is now also discouraged in favor of Docker for Windows and Docker for Mac).
