Add the package repository configuration:     FreeBSD-base: {       url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_latest",       mirror_type: "srv",       signature_type: "fingerprints",       fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",       enabled: yes     } To generate src.txz:     # env ABI=FreeBSD:16:amd64 pkg -r /mnt/src install FreeBSD-set-src     # tar -acof /var/tmp/src.txz -C /mnt/src usr/src To generate base.txz:     # env ABI=FreeBSD:16:amd64 pkg -r /mnt/base install FreeBSD-set-base     # mtree -deiU -f /etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist -p /mnt/base     # mtree -deiU -f /etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist -p /mnt/base/usr     # tar -acof /var/tmp/base.txz -C /mnt/base . The mtree commands may or may not be necessary, but in my case I expect /usr/obj to exist. If you want to pretend like this never happened, remove the package repository configuration and database ($PKG_DBDIR/repos/FreeBSD-base) once you have the artifacts. You will still have the packages, which you could exclude from your normal cache by setting PKG_CACHEDIR in the above pkg commands.
