FreeBSD publishes first Status Report of 2026 |
 |
The FreeBSD project has published a quarterly Status Report which discusses work which has gone into the FreeBSD operating system in the first three months of 2026. The report covers security work, efforts sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation, and port updates. One highlight of the report is the improvement of the pkgbasify utility, which converts existing classic FreeBSD systems to the new pkgbase package system. "The pkgbasify script is used to convert non-pkgbase FreeBSD systems to pkgbase systems. In the last quarter, I landed several improvements in upstream pkg, allowing pkgbasify to become both simpler and more robust. At the same time, the dependency of pkgbasify on the etcupdate database in /var/db/etcupdate/current can be now be eliminated, making pkgbasify much more flexible. These improvements will be available to end users after the pkg 2.7 release." Additional information on the development work happening in the FreeBSD community can be found in the quarterly newsletter.
