Limited raw email allows only lowercase, Title Case or UPPERCASE. If UPPERCASE is problematic for you then maybe you should switch to platforms that allow more sophisticated ways of text formating with bold/italic/underline features. > Off-topic from the four lists: it's known > that following instructions, whilst taking > the linked approach, can break the OS. > Breakage is not particularly safe. Instructions work as desired - I upgraded dozens of systems this way over a decade and not a single one break. ZFS Boot Environments were literally designed to work that way - to create upgrade within new not running BE: - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/E24456/betools-6.html#betools-3 ... and even IF they would break anything - the only thing they would break would be separately created ZFS Boot Environment and NOT the host system itselt. Read more about ZFS Boot Environments - how they work - what they provide - and stop spreading that misinformation if you do not understand how they work. > With regard to rule-breaking, Citing The Matrix movie: "Some of them can be bent. Others can be broken." The FreeBSD Base System is one of THE core FreeBSD values and features. It is really important to make sure that PKGBASE - as much as I like the concept - will not break it. For this important concern of mine that PKGBASE must find some way to preserve Base System independence from regular third party packages I addressed all Mailing Lists that are related to this problem - and they are: - freebsd-stable - freebsd-current - freebsd-pkg - freebsd-pkgbase As that seemed logical and reasonable.
