+
+The link:https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/pkgbasify[pkgbasify] script is used to convert non-pkgbase FreeBSD systems to pkgbase systems.
+
+In the last quarter, I landed link:https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/pull/2627[several improvements] in upstream pkg, allowing pkgbasify to become both simpler and more robust.
+At the same time, the dependency of pkgbasify on the etcupdate database in `/var/db/etcupdate/current` can be now be eliminated, making pkgbasify much more flexible.
+
+These improvements will be available to end users after the pkg 2.7 release.
