Hi, never heard that packer has that feature. But you can craft the "vagrant version" by yourself. Its just a json.
An example for illustration, from our setup: > http://vagrant.sprd.net/sprd_ubuntu_16_04_vagrant/sprd_ubuntu_16_04_vagrant.json { "name": "sprd_ubuntu_16_04_vagrant", "description": "sprd_ubuntu_16_04_vagrant", "versions": [ { "providers": [ { "checksum": "f4cb81f1179b13e01ff288cec87f0d0305005317", "name": "virtualbox", "url": "http://vagrant.sprd.net/sprd_ubuntu_16_04_vagrant/boxes/sprd_ubuntu_16_04_vagrant--201606.28.0.box";, "checksum_type": "sha1" } ], "version": "201606.28.0" }, { "providers": [ { "checksum": "c4c7bbca2d51d02911c3133fd8c2f6adbbaa179b", "name": "virtualbox", "url": "http://vagrant.sprd.net/sprd_ubuntu_16_04_vagrant/boxes/sprd_ubuntu_16_04_vagrant--201607.06.0.box";, "checksum_type": "sha1" } ], "version": "201607.06.0" }, { "providers": [ { "checksum": "b70d0f69a0061c8786330ccb2f2349a55a99ebd2", "name": "virtualbox", "url": "http://vagrant.sprd.net/sprd_ubuntu_16_04_vagrant/boxes/sprd_ubuntu_16_04_vagrant--201607.11.0.box";, "checksum_type": "sha1" } ], "version": "201607.11.0" } ] } I do this as a post-build script with python. Just pump everything in a python object/dictionary, and use json.dumps(obj) to stream it in a file... Hope that helps.
