If I'm not mistaken: when the 15.0-ALPHA1 installer uses base packages from FreeBSD Project-provided repos, the result is inferior 15.0-PRERELEASE, for which there is (still) a `FreeBSD-kernel-generic-nodebug` package, and so on. Seeking 15 at <https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/builds?type=package> finds no jail name that begins with 15. Do we need additional builders, for alphas, betas, and release candidates? Maybe already work in progress; Colin's hope of "soon" at <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1naxy9v/comment/nd1dfui/> with regard to pkgbase packages shipping on the install images. ---- Thanks to /u/pavetheway91 at <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1naxy9v/comment/nd4z750/> for a related catch. (Someone else might have expressed things in a different way. The penny didn't drop, for me, until this morning.)
