[-- Attachment #1 --] hello, during the 15.0-ALPHA period, the packages were published with a version similar to "15.0.a4.YYYYMMDD". now that stable/15 has become 15-STABLE, the packages are published with a version similar to "15.snapYYYYMMDD". unfortunately, pkg considers "15.0.a4" to be newer than "15.snap", so you will not see any package updates for those packages, even though they are available. to work around this, run "pkg upgrade -f -r FreeBSD-base", which will forcibly reinstall all packages with the version from the repository. this should only need to be done once, since there are no "a4" packages left in the repository. this only affects people who use the base_latest repository and want to track 15-STABLE. if you want to track releng/15.0 instead, switch from the base_latest repository to the base_release_0 repository. in that case, no manual action sould be required.
