hi pkgbasers,

In 15.0-RELEASE our /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf file advises using

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf.

to store any modifications.

But in bsdinstall we use the filename FreeBSD-base.conf, ditto for
pkgbasify I think in https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/pkgbasify/blob/main/pkgbasify.lua#L12-L24

I did a patch for addressing this for the OCI containers, but should
we also bring bsdinstall and pkgbasify.lua into line too, at least
for 15.0+ ?

If so is this errata-worthy, or just wait for 15.0 ?

A+
Dave
