Summary

This is a tarball containing the pkgbase repository for the release.

Note: This is an uncompressed tarball, because all of its constituent
.pkg files are already compressed; there's no point adding another
layer of compression.

the problem i see with this is it will be instantly obsolete once the first SA is released for 15.0. however if the purpose is to provide an easy way to people to get a reference set of package used to build a release (without having to extract it from the ISO) that seems fine.

release/Makefile
223	up to you, though.
release/Makefile.mirrors
68	there's already a variable called PKGBASE_REPO_DIR, so this needs to be renamed.

release/Makefile
223	Yeah, I was thinking that having `foo.tar` extract into a `foo` directory was helpful, but in fact the tarball is going to be renamed later so there's no point. I'll change it.
release/Makefile.mirrors
68	There wasn't one in Makefile.mirrors... but you're right that it's unnecessarily confusing. I'll change it.
