For official pkgbase releases, there are the likes of:

<https://download.freebsd.org/releases/PKGBASE-REPOS/15.1-BETA3/amd64/Latest/FreeBSD-15.1-BETA3-amd64-pkgbase-repo.tar>;

(Also: CHECKSUM.SHA* files.)

So, the suggestive pattern:

<https://download.freebsd.org/releases/PKGBASE-REPOS/*.*-*/*/Latest/FreeBSD-*-pkgbase-repo.tar>;

gives an idea where to get tar files that would contain the *.pkg files
(and likely more).

There are also snapshots in pkgbase form for 15.* and main [so: 16 as
stands], such as:

<https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/PKGBASE-REPOS/15.1-STABLE/aarch64/20260521/FreeBSD-15.1-STABLE-arm64-aarch64-pkgbase-repo-20260521-b718f7d88157-283647.tar>;

(Also: CHECKSUM.SHA* files.)

Suggestive pattern:

<https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/PKGBASE-REPOS/*.*-*/*/YYYYMMDD/FreeBSD-*.*-*-*-*-pkgbase-repo-YYYYMMDD-*-*.tar>;


Note: 15.0 does not look to have any snapshots. But there being only one
active 15.*-STABLE for stable/15 makes sense. I do not know why the:

https://download.freebsd.org/snapshots/PKGBASE-REPOS/15.0-STABLE/

continues to exist after the files were depopulated from below there.
