Re: FreeBSD 15.0-BETA2 Now Available

${VERSION_MINOR} has been used in the pkg.conf settings since it
was in its testing phase during 14.2-RELEASE. Since 14.3-RELEASE,
it has been fully supported, and FreeBSD-kmods is enabled by default.

Note that the repositories for packages derived from the ports tree
for 15.0 have been renamed to FreeBSD-ports and FreeBSD-ports-kmods.
${VERSION_MINOR} is documented in pkg.conf(5).

With respect to the FreeBSD-base repository: I imagine it will work
similarly to how ${VERSION_MINOR} as during the upgrade from
14.2-RELEASE to 14.3-RELEASE. However, I have no insight into how
these settings may develop or evolve during the pre-release cycle
leading up to the official 15.0-RELEASE, or how they may change in
future update processes; for example from 15.0-RELEASE to 15.1-RELEASE.

Where is this documented? Should it be kmods_quarterly_${VERSION_MINOR}?

How would this work when updating from 15.0 to 15.1? You don't want to
put 15.1 pkgs in 15.0 repo!
