please explain to me the use of -r AND -c?
if you use -r to populate a chroot for -c then should that be pkg
add rater than pkg install?
Julian, I am afraid I have blindly followed the suggestion from
http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2015-11-21-FreeBSD-AMI-builder-AMI.html which
suggested this script to preinstall the packages in the system
mounted on /mnt
#!/bin/sh
export ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=YES
pkg -r /mnt fetch -d apache24
pkg -c /mnt install apache24
echo apache24_enable=YES >> /mnt/etc/rc.conf
mkami "FreeBSD 10.2 w/ Apache 2.4" "FreeBSD with Apache pre-installed"
shutdown -p now
Perhaps Colin might be able to chime in on the original intent?
My goal is to have packages installed, together with the patched
kernel, then to power off the machine and use it as a template for
others, saving the 3 minutes of the initial package installation
process, in our case. I have tried your suggestion of “add” but it
did not work, either. I wonder if this somehow related to inability
of pkg -c to resolve names in this AMI.
When I try this manually, not using the above scripts, these are the
results and errors I get:
$ pkg -r /mnt update -f

this means that either in the jail/chroot or in your machine, dns
lookups are failing.. did you remember to copy /etc/resolv.conf into
the chroot/jail?
$ pkg -c /mnt add awscli
pkg: awscli: No such file or directory
pkg: Was 'pkg install awscli' meant?
Failed to install the following 1 package(s): awscli
Many thanks, everyone.

pkg install fetches over the network, pkg add installs a prefetched file,
so I am guessing that if you use add, and point the preloaded file it
may work.. Of course pkg may be smart enough to find the cached copy
itself, but it still seems to want to look at the network.
