@mwl thank you, this probably explains <https://redd.it/1v2z68d>. I'll make a cross reference.

running `bastille pkg ALL upgrade -y` and getting stuck in a bug where pkg is trying to upgrade itself but never does.
a quick little fix of: `bastille cmd $JAIL env ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=yes pkg bootstrap -f` and some manual spot checking to ensure that some packages didn't get removed (like postfix was removed... :/ )

@grumpybozo thanks.
It's implicitly bleeding edge; please see <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/QuarterlyBranch>.

15.0-RELEASE-p11, 15.1-RELEASE-p1, or 15-STABLE?
I'm grateful for the FreeBSD Foundation's use of GitHub.

An ideal is that it should not happen.
The reality might be Python-related in this case. Two days ago:
Default Python has been upgraded to 3.12 : r/freebsd
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1ugdsdk/default_python_has_been_upgraded_to_312/>
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1ugdsdk/comment/ou25r7m/> noted the removal of qutebrowser.

@thomrstrom thanks.
Choosing pkgbase positively transformed my use of CURRENT as a daily driver in February 2024 (<https://forums.freebsd.org/posts/673576>).
I never regretted the choice.

2026: "freebsd-update is outdated (I should treat it as legacy), as is documentation for freebsd-update. There's no hint to use the FreeBSD-ports-kmods package repo before the first boot of 15.1." โ <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1u8uh8v/comment/osbuo8f/>
2019: "โฆ I'm not working on this code any more." โ <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120552#c4>
There has been plenty of work since then โ <https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/usr.sbin/freebsd-update/freebsd-update.sh> โ however I don't expect it to keep pace with modernisations such as FreeBSD-ports-kmods.

*Big* shoutout to the #FreeBSD team that created #pkgbase and the 15.1 release.
I upgraded 3 different notebooks and a desktop today, each update just took a few minutes.
This was the first upgrade since a very long time that was completely smooth by just following the excellently documented steps in the upgrade notes (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.1R/upgrading/#upgrade-pkg).
No need to manually deal with incompatible DRM kmods anymore. No searching the web anymore to make sure one doesn't have to fix the system in single user mode.
And simply keeping the system patch level up to date with #pkg is very slick as well.
Thank you very much for all that!

@justine maybe because build requires devel/electron40.
devel/electron39 is currently packaged, 40 is not.

@jana thanks!
I would have added just one point: base system updates no longer require freebsd-update โฆ
Postscript: I heard the point made in Q&A in the recording <https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/116704606382877310> after the event, but not during the live stream.

pkgbase in the FreeBSD Handbook
<https://reviews.freebsd.org/D56632> for <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/cutting-edge/#pkgbase> seems to be an outcome from the Foundation-supported hackathon.
I provided minor corrections, but abstained from using Phabricator to provide them.

pkgbase is the future.
pkg can be used for minor and major upgrades.
freebsd-update is not yet compatible with pkg.
