implement bootstrap pkg if it is not done so already, based on lwhsu feedback, thanks! note, i like a blank line at the end of scripts for cat reasons. if we don't want this, i can remove it, but it doesn't hurt anything and we do it all over the place.

btw, you can try to run it with rclint, but I don't usually follow "Do not quote values unless necessary" error.

Hi, I am also working on this and didn't know this is earlier than me. I think this one is more complete while mine is only focusing on FreeBSD-base repo. However I guess there are still something useful (or not, as I'm still testing):

• bootstrap/update pkg
• only reboot when there is pkg updated

I'll bring this into the doc tree. I'll do a few minor textual fixes before committing, but nothing substantial.
Thanks for the update, it's definitely helpful to have accurate information for users on how to work with pkgbase to upgrade when 15.0 RELEASE hits.

Thanks! I'm (blindly) accepting without checking.

@grahamperrin thank you for your suggestions.
I tried to integrate them to the best of my knowledge.

My current thought is much the same as Sergio's in August:

I'll pause for now, because I find it difficult to visualise with Phabricator. Clicking Undo does not undo (so, you may see repetition), and so on.

Can you tell when pkgbase.freebsd.org will be introduced?

A while ago, probably around August, I began referring to freebsd-update as legacy, because it was commonly understood that it would be "removed or at least neutered" with 15.0-RELEASE.

Thanks @grahamperrin and @ivy for your input, please take a look if i implemented the changes correctly.

while you're here, i notice there is some existing text in this page which is wrong:

Thanks @bcr for your changes, i have to work on that writing style.

Good writeup and having these extra instructions is definitely helpful to have in the handbook. Thanks!
I fixed occurances of you in the text. Other than that, I did not find anything else that needs fixing.

yup, thanks for the bump.

i think we agreed this change is wrong, can we close the review?

Fix documentation of NOPKGBASE (this got inverted by the rebase)
