    From bapt@FreeBSD.org@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 16 13:00:05 2025
    New package repositories available for kernel modules.

    Since 14.2-RELEASE we have been publishing a repository of packages built for all supported arches.

    With the upcoming 14.3-RELEASE we have extended the infrastructure so it now covers the following branches:
    - releng/14.2 (14.2-RELEASE) (from latest and quarterly ports)
    - releng/14.3 (14.3-RELEASE) (from latest and quarterly ports)
    - stable/14 (14.3-STABLE) (from latest and quarterly ports)
    - main (15.0-CURRENT) (only latest ports)

    To use them, here is the necessary configuration:
    (it can be added to /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/kmods.conf)

    ----
    FreeBSD-kmods: {
    url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/KMODSFLAVOR",
    mirror_type: "src",
    signature_type: "fingerprints",
    fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
    enabled: yes
    }

    KMODSFLAVOR repect the following pattern:

    kmods_PORTBRANCH_MINORRELEASE
