+== Updating FreeBSD with PkgBase
+PkgBase is a system that allows the base system of FreeBSD to be managed with the link:https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-ports[pkg(8)] package management tool, just like third-party software in the ports and packages collection.
+
+PkgBase replaces:
+
+* .txz distribution sets, which are used for installation of the OS with link:https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdinstall&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release[bsdinstall(8)]
+
+* link:https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=freebsd-update&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release[freebsd-update(8)] for updates to the OS.
+
+PkgBase complements crossref:cutting-edge[makeworld,"building and installing from source"].
+
+At the moment PkgBase is considered experimental, but there are official packages since link:https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-pkgbase/2023-October/000221.html[October 2023].
+
+=== Converting a Host to use PkgBase
+
+The link:https://github.com/FreeBSDFoundation/pkgbasify[pkgbasify] tool, provided by the FreeBSD Foundation, may be used to automatically convert a FreeBSD 14.0 or greater system to use pkgbase.
+
+Follow the simple instructions in the pkgbasify README to download and run the script.
+
+=== Upgrading a Host using PkgBase
+[Warning]
+===
+This is still in developement, so please be careful especially when converting an existing system to use PkgBase.
