The FreeBSD-src package is the largest single pkgbase package at 158M

they are not useful to all users.

This looks reasonable to me; @ivy any objection?

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Sep 16 2025, 1:50 PM

i'm not sure what's going on here, but it seems like my local system isn't building the src(-sys) package at all, which may be why i didn't notice this. in any case i like having sets for both tests and src so we can use them in the installer.
