# Generic

This bucket is never enabled by default. You have to enable it explicitly like
this:

```ruby
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.cache.enable :generic, { :cache_dir => "/var/cache/some" }
end
```

The :cache_dir parameter is required. It specifies the directory on the guest
that will be cached under the "generic" bucket.

You may enable more than one generic bucket by giving them different names via
the :name parameter, like this:

```ruby
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.cache.enable :generic, { :name => "one", :cache_dir => "/var/cache/one" }
  config.cache.enable :generic, { :name => "two", :cache_dir => "/var/cache/two" }
end
```

In this case you get two buckets called "generic-one" and "generic-two".

The Generic bucket is useful if you want to implement a caching mechanism by
hand. For instance, if you want to cache your wget downloads under
/var/cache/wget you can do this:

```ruby
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.cache.enable :generic, { :name => wget, :cache_dir => "/var/cache/wget" }
end
```

Then, you invoke wget like this:

```sh
wget -N -P /var/cache/wget URL
```
