That's likely not enough; check your config settings for packages
derived from the ports tree.
Using latest on releng/15, such as 15.0-BETA1, verify:
FreeBSD-ports: {
url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest";,
enabled: yes,
priority: 0,
mirror_type: "SRV",
signature_type: "FINGERPRINTS",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
}
FreeBSD-ports-kmods: {
url:
"pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_latest_${VERSION_MINOR}";,
enabled: yes,
priority: 0,
mirror_type: "SRV",
signature_type: "FINGERPRINTS",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg"
}
Substitute latest by quarterly accordingly, if so desired.
You may need to use -f to force (re)installation of packages that were
version tagged with '1500500' as installed from a repository
where its packages were built against ALPHA5; otherwise these won't get updated.
According to the Handbook, for the FreeBSD-base repository you can use:
url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_${VERSION_MINOR}";,
