windows - vagrant package creates a copy of the original box with no changes I have made -

this may noob question, after making changes image vagrant up , installing something, call vagrant package --box [name] --output [new.box].

after create new vagrant init new.box, doesn't have new things installed on box packaged.

anyone know doing wrong?

the reason used same box name.

as described, you've done this:

1. created vagrantfile:

   vagrant.configure(vagrantfile_api_version) |config|   config.vm.box = 'base'   config.vm.box_url = 'http://the-url-of-box-you-used-as-base.com/precise.box' end 

2. vagrant up

3. vagrant ssh => there you've made changes
4. vagrant package --box [name] --output [new.box]

5. edit original vagrant file (or create new one) load new box:

   vagrant.configure(vagrantfile_api_version) |config|   config.vm.box = 'base'   config.vm.box_url = 'my-new.box' end 

and here i'm assuming kept config.vm.box same, means vagrant didn't use box, original previous box there's downloaded box name in ~/.vagrant.d/boxes.

there might 2 solutions:

1. change name in vagrantfile (if have used different name when generating custom box)
2. delete cached box name = remove ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/[name]
