Hi Vijay,

If you use iocage for jail management instead of ezjail, you can use its
pkglist keyword to automatically install a list of packages in a file as
the jail is created.

Documented here:
https://iocage.readthedocs.org/en/latest/advanced-use.html#automatic-package-installation

Hope that helps,
-Ben
