yes, there is a note in UPDATING: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/UPDATING?h=stable/15&id=95cc7f59b7ce99e8f188a6f308db1b38ae064e4c > Is there a common place to keep updating notes for pkgbase? currently they go in UPDATING for unreleased branches, and will be noted in the release notes for releases. 15.1 will be the first release with examples of the latter, since 15.0 was the first pkgbase release ever, so had no upgrading notes. i also post the important ones to the mailing list because, while pkgbase users are still expected to read UPDATING, it's easy to get into the habit of ignoring it when nothing breaks for a while.
