I haven't done that yet because I think I'd want to switch to pkgbase but that makes me nervous. Did you go with that option or continued to use the sets?
- sidkshatriya 7mo agoWhy not create a boot environment and try out FreeBSD 15 with pkgbase ? If the experiment is successful just make the boot environment the default otherwise throw it away... With such powerful tools I find it fascinating that FreeBSD users are not more willing to experiment !
- jmmv 7mo agoTo be honest I've never tried boot environments. I know they are a thing, and I have my whole setup on ZFS, so maybe that's the perfect use case.
- krylon 7mo agoI haven't switched to pkgbase. Yet. I don't intend to for the time being. I set up a VM to test it, but I haven't gotten around to actually testing it.

A very good thing. A huge game-changer, in terms of testing STABLE and CURRENT.
