commit 61df4be487cfbfd27b0959e1eb66ef0d8f84562f Author: Colin Percival <[email protected]> AuthorDate: 2026-05-16 18:58:13 +0000 Commit: Colin Percival <[email protected]> CommitDate: 2026-05-16 19:18:52 +0000 EC2: Don't enable firstboot_pkgs in small flavour The EC2 "base" flavour installs the devel/py-awscli package at boot time by default; we don't do this in the "small" flavour, so the default behaviour was to update the FreeBSD-ports repository and then do nothing with it. Turn off firstboot_pkgs by default; if someone is using the "small" flavour of AMIs and wants to install packages at instance launch time, they simply need to add 'firstboot_pkgs_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf (which they must already be editing via user-data, in order to provide the list of packages they want installed).
