https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=288295 --- Comment #2 from John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> --- We might actually want some more detailed instructions for people wishing to do source-based upgrades as you likely want to delete the package metadata so a future `pkg upgrade` doesn't try to upgrade files that were updated by a `make installworld`. Sort of like the inverse of pkgbaseify. At a minimum we should document how to do source-based upgrades on a 15.0 system. I'm not sure we will want to ship an etcupdate tarball by default since for users using pkg to update the base system it will just consume space and never be used, but we do probably want to provide a way to obtain the etcupdate tarball for releases (even if we just publish them on the ftp/http site?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
