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

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
