vagrant-package-vmware is a Vagrant plugin for packaging a running VMware vagrant environment into a box.

Installation

Use vagrant plugin to install the gem in your Vagrant environment:

$ vagrant package-vmware -h

Usage: vagrant package-vmware [options] [name|id]

Options:

        --include FILE,FILE..        Comma separated additional files to package with the box
        --vagrantfile FILE           Vagrantfile to package with the box

Example

$ vagrant package-vmware 7d54359 --output new.box

Cloning machine...
Compressing package to: /Users/vagrant/new.box

Development

The vagrant-vmware-fusion plugin really doesn't like being loaded from a vendor'ed vagrant, so you can't use the usual technique of bundle exec vagrant ... to test this plugin. The following commands build and install the checked-out gem:

$ bundle exec rake build
$ vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-package-vmware
$ vagrant plugin install pkg/vagrant-package-vmware-*.gem
$ vagrant package-vmware -h
