Am new at FreeBSD, and thank you for this excellent tutorial to upgrade the OS.

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the feedback

Have you also provide steps on rebuilding any packages that you build from port for the major upgrade?

@diablobarcelona 4 месяца назад

You should be really disabling the repo using echo "FreeBSD: { enabled: no }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf , and setting up a new file like /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-Latest.conf and having that configuration enabled to pull the latest.

Good suggestion! Thanks for feedback.

@@sheridans you may understand the above but considering the question I started to ask can I get this explained more completely? My initial question was: I like the idea of keeping the /etc/pkg configuration files unchanged files from the install. However; it would seem moving them to /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos places the responsibility on the administrator to diff the two files after the upgrade and make the appropriate changes (additions/modifications/deletions) to the /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos version of the file. Do I have this requirement correct? How does the suggestion affect that process? Are there limits to which files are appropriate for this treatment? I have a feeling /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf we considered during installation is not a candidate for this treatment.

@davidshuman9366 the file /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf rarely changes. Adding the necessary lines in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf stops your changes being overwritten and stops freebsd-update pestering you about file changes.
