Maybe I'm being a bit simple but reading the #FreeBSD docs for upgrades using pkgbase and it says to create this file FreeBSD-base.conf which I understand. The part that is messing with my grey matter is where it says to chose one of the options below. I'm on FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE and have my ports on Latest so which of these two do I chose ?
main - pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/base_latest
releng/15.1 pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/base_release_1
Or something else entirely ????
HELP PLEASE before I pkgbasify my ThinkPad ❤️
