"make installkernel" and "make installworld" will be replaced with "make packages" (or similar, I haven't done this yet so not sure on the exact command). Then you use pkg(8) to update the repo info and to upgrade the installed packages using the ones you just created. Similar to how things are done in ports. You use poudriere to build packages via the ports tree. Then use pkg(8) to install/upgrade using the newly-built packages. --=20 Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com --0000000000005b5edc06419d37d5 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr">On Mon, Oct 20, 2025 at 1:11=E2=80=AFPM P= ete French <<a href=3D"mailto:pete@twisted.org.uk">pete@twisted.org.uk</= a>> wrote:</div><div class=3D"gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><blockq= uote class=3D"gmail_quote" style=3D"margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1p= x solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On 20/10/2025 18:04, Colin Perci= val wrote:<br> > No, pkgbase is considered "experimental" in 14; the intended= upgrade path<br> > for 14.x (and older) systems is<br> > <br> > 1.
