I am running FreeBSD 15.0 release. I didn't decided to upgrade because I did read
that some people have problems. 15.0 works for me. I am just confused because kmods
in ports are new but in kmods repository are not updated and because that I have
those candidates.
I built just Midnight Commander from ports the other for are from repository kmods.

Thank you.
