# updating 15.0-CURRENT from ~ 3 weeks ago to 15.0-ALPHA1

NB I built my own pkgbase set, based off stable/15 @ 0b3d82579a01db4c5d874cda1ac468bb8f26c109

The overall plan is:

1. upgrade only the GENERIC kernel package from my pkgbase set
1. reboot
1. upgrade all the remaining base system packages from my pkgbase set
1. update the EFI boot loader from the just-installed FreeBSD-bootloader
1. re-bootstrap pkg for the new userland from the public pkg.freebsd.org packages
1. delete all non-base system packages to remove a few years of cruft
1. install my minimal useful package list
1. reboot again
1. install all the toys
1. celebrate

In practice I didn't quite follow this recipe, but close enough.
