I have opted to build images a bit differently, not using the stuff in s=
rc/release. I=E2=80=99ve done two approaches.

The first is to attach a second disk to an EC2 instance, install FreeBSD=
 onto it with customizations, and then image the disk (https://gist.gith=
ub.com/patmaddox/9f20edcb50ff15fa9edd1d4e38d07e50).

The way I=E2=80=99m doing it now is to use poudriere to make an img file=
, and then upload that image to S3, snapshot it (aws ec2 import-snapshot=
 =E2=80=93disk-container Format=3Draw,Url=3Ds3://mybucket/myimage.img) a=
nd finally make an AMI from that snapshot.

The stuff in src/release is good for knowing what changes to make to con=
fig files, or packages to install.
