Hello all,

Thanks Stefano for testing and spotting this.

I've called a halt to the publication of the current image with contrib and 
non-free enabled in sources.list. I am regenerating now, but this may be too 
late for listing early this week coming.

It would be nice if we can have an example (one-line, idempotent) script that 
can re-enable this for users  and even add/change repos completely from the 
UserData scripts (eg: http://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Squeeze. 
Anyone got some nice examples we could add in here? Anyone else able to 
contribute to this documentation?


  James

Subject: [bug] squeeze images: contrib/non-free enabled by default

I looked at the amd64 image (a bit brutally, by loopback mounting the AMIs 
downloaded from the public snapshots). I found a bug that I consider important 
enough to be fixed before releasing on AWS: contrib and non-free are enabled by 
default in sources.list.

That is a significant departure from what we do in regular Debian installations 
and I think it should be changed to match what we do there, i.e. the AMIs shall 
only have main enabled in sources.list.

FWIW, I did check that no contrib/non-free package is installed in the images.

Can we please fix this before the first release?
Thanks!


PS over the week-end I also plan to request the cloud.d.o pseudo-package
   in the BTS, but given we don't have it yet, I reported the bug here
