config: Allow users to opt-out from installing system packages
What does this merge request do and why?
GDK will install system packages as needed. But some users might not
want that. For them the new setting gdk.system_packages_opt_out
can be
set to true, and GDK will not attempt to install packages.
How to set up and validate locally
- Run
gdk config set gdk.system_packages_opt_out true
- Run
support/bootstrap-packages
No packages should be attempted to install.
