title: Vagrant package new box (from standard one)
body: <p>I've got a standard Vagrant precise64 box. I want to add a number of packages, say git and subversion and then repackage the box. How can I use the package command to create a new box? </p>
  
  <p>I know package is a plugin in v2. This doc was remove in v2 and I'm not sure how it applies

  <p>If I try in my directory containing the vagrant machine and the Vagrant file I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ vagrant package boxname --output test.box --vagrantfile Vagrantfile
  The machine with the name 'boxname' was not found configured for
  this Vagrant environment.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Edit:
  The following works</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ vagrant package --output vagrant_example.box
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which leaves me with the following questions. What is the boxname for? What does the base command do? Thanks.</p>
