Hi!

>   I took a leap into PKGBASE , I installed 15-ALPHA5 from a usb and selected pkgbase . It works. So i see that BETA1 is out and i am stumped what should we do to upgrade from ALPHA to BETA vi pkg ? 

I did this:

cd /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
vi FreeBSD-base.conf
-----------
FreeBSD-base: {
  url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/base_release_0",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}
-----------

Then:

pkg update
pkg upgrade

This worked from ALPHA5.
