release: Make sure 'pkg update' is run with ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES set

[dfr]

Summary

Both 'pkg bootstrap' and 'pkg update' need to have this set to avoid
image builds terminating with an error due to a yes/no prompt.

[dfr]

I would like to get this change into 14.3 if possible - it works around a confusing error message caused by 'pkg update' attempting to get a yes/no response.

Now that we have images available from both docker.io and ghcr.io, it might also be a good idea to change the FROM statement to one of these options which would allow the example podman command in share/examples/oci/README to work without manual steps to copy a suitable image to local storage and tag it correctly.

Sorry I managed to be in Germany for the week when this landed...
I did some testing and the ASSUME... stuff is no longer needed AFAICT.

pkg bootstrap -yr FreeBSD && pkg update -f

Is this simpler, or does it still sometimes break under some scenarios?

[dch]

BTW when running this against 14.3-RC1 I needed to add a tiny sleep 3
at the end to accommodate pkg(8) still doing whatever pkg does:

pkg bootstrap -yr FreeBSD && pkg update -f

For some reason, I believed that pkg bootstrap didn't support a '-y' flag. I'll look into simplifying this and avoid the ugly env var hacks.

[dfr]

I tried 'pkg bootstrap -y ... && pkg update -f' and got a y/N prompt due to an OSVERSION mismatch:

podman build -f ./share/examples/oci/Containerfile.pkg --build-arg=packages=nginx

[dfr]

I think I will re-work this to set IGNORE_OSVERSION instead.

[dfr]

Set IGNORE_OSVERSION instead of ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES

🚢 it!
