Let it be known that I updated a #FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE host to 15.0-RELEASE-p4 via pkg-base.

It happened this week. The 15.0 images on #Azure are base-ified already.

It went smoothly. I was impressed. Then I rebooted. No. Big. Deal.

Thanks.

@dvl I love pkgbase it’s the best and I don’t care for the naysayers. They have reasonable points but until you’ve updated a fleet of 100s or 1000s of systems with it, you haven’t seen the light.

@dch I don't have a great deal of patience with people who supposedly follow FreeBSD, closely, for years, and then express dismay that FreeBSD can be upgraded:

pkg upgrade

I mean, come on, people. The plan was clear enough more than a decade ago.

In last year's <https://mail-archive.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?dfc2de28-f496-4746-ac78-5b5ff68c5ed6> I refrained from quoting Glen Barber (his 2016 call for testing):

＂… Also note (as repeated below), running 'pkg delete -a' will implicitly remove base system packages after they are installed. …＂
