+
+      <para>The Quarterly branch provides users with a more
+       predictable and stable experience for port and package
+       installation and upgrades.  This is done essentially by only
+       allowing non-feature updates.  Quarterly branches aim to
+       receive security fixes (that may be version updates, or
+       backports of commits), bug fixes and ports compliance or
+       framework changes.  Quarterly branch cut from HEAD at the
+       beginning of every (yearly) quarter in January, April, July,
+       and October, and the name for the binary package sets that
+       are produced from these branches.  Branches are named
+       according to the year (YYYY) and quarter (Q1-4) they are
+       created in.  For example, the quarterly branch created in
+       January 2016, is named 2016Q1.  And the Latest branch provides
+       the latest versions of the packages to the users.</para>
+
+      <para>To switch from quarterly to latest run the following
+       commands:</para>
+
+      <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cp /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf</userinput></screen>
+
+      <para>Edit the file
+       <filename>/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf</filename>
+       and change the string <emphasis>quarterly</emphasis> to
+       <emphasis>latest</emphasis> in the url: line.</para>
+
+      <para>The result should be similar to the following:</para>
+
+      <programlisting>FreeBSD: {
+  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
+  mirror_type: "srv",
+  signature_type: "fingerprints",
+  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
+  enabled: yes
+}</programlisting>
+
+      <para>And finally run this command to update from the new
+       (latest) repository metadata.</para>
+
+      <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>pkg update -f</userinput></screen>
