Using the following workflow, I was not able to export a box with snapshots.
$ vagrant up # box I want to save
$ vagrant snapshot save one
$ vagrant ssh # made some changes
$ vagrant snapshot save two
$ vagrant package --base 'vm name' --output snapshottest.box
# moved the box to a new directory
$ vagrant init snapshottest.box
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant snapshot list
==> default: No snapshots have been taken yet!
default: You can take a snapshot using `vagrant snapshot save`. Note
that
default: not all providers support this yet. Once a snapshot is taken,
you
default: can list them using this command, and use commands such as
default: `vagrant snapshot restore` to go back to a certain snapshot.
I would like to continue to use vagrant up because I'd still like other
features of vagrant, like shared folders.
