Upgrading FreeBSD should only be attempted after backing up _all_ data and configuration files.

+== Upgrading from Existing Base System Package Installs
+[IMPORTANT]
+====
+For users of PRERELEASE, ALPHA, and BETA builds of FreeBSD 15.0, due to late-breaking changes in FreeBSD.org infrastructure, it is not possible to upgrade directly using the man:pkg-upgrade[8] utility.
+====
+
+Users should either force-install the package:FreeBSD-pkg-bootstrap[] package from the official release base system packages, or alternatively manually copy the required files from a source tree checkout of `15.0-RELEASE` tag, or a later commit in `STABLE` or `CURRENT` branches.
+
+The recommended, and most secure approach, is using the source tree checkout of any of head, stable/15, or releng/15.0 branches after 2025-11-27 22:00 UTC.
+
+....
+# cp /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg/FreeBSD.conf.quarterly-release \
+ /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
+# cp -R /usr/src/share/keys/pkgbase-15 /usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15
+....
+
+Users who do not have up to date sources installed may use a less secure, but simpler approach, validating the checksums after installation. As these are architecture-independent files, the checksums will match on all platforms.
+
+....
+# pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:(uname -p)/base_release_0/FreeBSD-pkg-bootstrap-15.0.pkg
+# sha256 -r /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/share/keys/pkg/trusted/pkg.freebsd.org.2013102301 \
