This is a long-awaited feature and really great news for the entire 
FreeBSD community.

Many thanks for introducing new package repositories for kernel modules 
in FreeBSD. This is a really great improvement and will make it much 
easier for users to maintain and deploy new releases, in a seamless and 
user-friendly way.

FreeBSD steadily keeps moving forward...

Cheers

New package repositories available for kernel modules.

Since 14.2-RELEASE we have been publishing a repository of packages built for
all supported arches.

With the upcoming 14.3-RELEASE we have extended the infrastructure so it now
covers the following branches:
- releng/14.2 (14.2-RELEASE) (from latest and quarterly ports)
- releng/14.3 (14.3-RELEASE) (from latest and quarterly ports)
- stable/14 (14.3-STABLE) (from latest and quarterly ports)
- main (15.0-CURRENT) (only latest ports)

To use them, here is the necessary configuration:
(it can be added to /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/kmods.conf)

----
FreeBSD-kmods: {
	url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/KMODSFLAVOR",
	mirror_type: "srv",
	signature_type: "fingerprints",
	fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
	enabled: yes
}
----

KMODSFLAVOR repect the following pattern:

kmods_PORTBRANCH_MINORRELEASE

List of what is being published:

+----------------------+----------------+-------------------+
| FreeBSD Release      | ports main     | ports quarterly   |
+----------------------+----------------+-------------------+
| FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE | kmods_latest_2 | kmods_quarterly_2 |
| FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE | kmods_latest_3 | kmods_quarterly_3 |
| FreeBSD 14.3-STABLE  | kmods_latest   | kmods_quarterly   |
| FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT | kmods_latest   |                   |
+----------------------+----------------+-------------------+

Note for current and stable the repositories are built against
the version available in the weekly pkgbase snapshots.

Best regards,
Bapt
