vmimage.subr: Add ability to install src in VM image

2026-06-12T18:21:48Z

In some cases having a src tree in a VM image is convenient for development or debugging. Add a WITH_SRC variable, which, when set, will cause the vm-release target to include FreeBSD-set-src in the list of packages installed in an image.

EC2: Don't enable firstboot_pkgs in small flavour

2026-05-16T19:18:52Z

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).

packages: Make create-sets.sh more robust during release

2026-05-05T00:32:34Z

Commit d1c176fedfc9 made create-sets.sh exit when it encounters an error, instead of creating an empty repository. However, this turns out to cause some issues: 1. A package not having any sets is considered an error, but during the release build, we stuff a 'pkg' package into the repository which doesn't have any sets, which causes a failure. Avoid this by simply ignoring the pkg package. 2. No error was printed in this case, which made the problem hard to diagnose. Add an explicit error message. 3. A similar problem occurred running on a repository which already contained sets, which is not usually done during the build, but is not necessarly an inappropriate thing to do. Fix this one by ignoring set packages when looking for sets. While here, fix another issue that might cause packages to be wrongly skipped if the path to the repository contains a '-' character, since we didn't strip the path before testing the package name.

packages: Make create-sets.sh more robust

2026-04-28T19:50:42Z

Use ${PKG_CMD} rather than bare 'pkg' to fix the build when pkg is not in the tools path. Provide a default in case it's not set for some reason (e.g., running the script by hand). Since set -- $(...) does not trigger an exit from set -e if the command fails, this failure was silent and resulted in sets not being built correctly if we failed to run pkg. Use a temporary variable, which does trigger set -e, to fail correctly.
