    The first release candidate build of the 15.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available.

    Note: Due to a problem affecting VM image builds, we anticipate building an expedited 15.0-RC2.

    Installation images are available for:

    o 15.0-RC1 amd64 GENERIC
    o 15.0-RC1 powerpc64 GENERIC64
    o 15.0-RC1 powerpc64le GENERIC64LE
    o 15.0-RC1 armv7 GENERICSD
    o 15.0-RC1 aarch64 GENERIC
    o 15.0-RC1 aarch64 RPI
    o 15.0-RC1 aarch64 PINE64
    o 15.0-RC1 aarch64 PINE64-LTS
    o 15.0-RC1 aarch64 PINEBOOK
    o 15.0-RC1 aarch64 ROCK64
    o 15.0-RC1 aarch64 ROCKPRO64
    o 15.0-RC1 riscv64 GENERIC
    o 15.0-RC1 riscv64 GENERICSD
    There is no i386 indicated (as expected).

    === Virtual Machine Disk Images ===

    VM disk images are available for the amd64, i386, aarch64, and riscv64 architectures. Disk images may be downloaded from the following URL
    (or any of the FreeBSD download mirrors):
    i386?

    === OCI Container Images ===

    OCI container images are available for the amd64, i386, aarch64, and riscv64 architectures, and can be found at
    i386?
    . . .

    === Upgrading ===

    The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of amd64, i386,
    and aarch64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running
    earlier FreeBSD releases can upgrade by first installing any updates for
    the currently running release:

    Editing failure. I have i386 in the template (because we do those on 14.x)
    and I forgot to remove it in my rush to announce 15.0-RC1.

    It has been a long week...

    A type of thing that may be odd for now for folks trying to test
    15.0-RC1 :
    # ping -4 pkgbase.freebsd.org
    ping: cannot resolve pkgbase.freebsd.org: No address associated with name
    # ping -6 pkgbase.freebsd.org
    ping: cannot resolve pkgbase.freebsd.org: Address family for hostname not supported

    And yet pkg+https://pkgbase.freebsd.org/ works. :-)

    The pkg(8) tool looks up SRV records
    $ host -t srv _https._tcp.pkgbase.freebsd.org
    _https._tcp.pkgbase.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 100 443 cloudfront.aws.pkgbase.freebsd.org.

    and that's the real host. (Right now; we might add other endpoints in the future.)

    It causes problem that poudriere can't create jail with pkgbase method
    and repository on pkgbase.freebsd.org because poudriere regards "pkg+https://pkgbase.freebsd.org/" as invalid value of -U argument.

    This seems like a bug which should get fixed in poudriere, but if someone familiar with the code can tell me how we can work around the bug on a temporary basis I'm willing to make it happen.
