Hi all, I noticed on 30 June the mention of a warning re: pkgbase and openssl in the releng_13 src/UPDATING file. For people that don't use HEAD this may be the first time they have ever heard about pkgbase (which is sort-of explained at https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase). 13-stable/releng_13 users may see this src/UPDATING message and think that they may need to install a package called FreeBSD-openssl to avoid some mysterious problem. Then they will discover of FreeBSD-openssl doesn't exist because it isn't part of the ports collection. I submit that some additional documentation (perhaps just a pointer to existing information) should be created somewhere to let 13-stable/releng_13 users know a little more about this mysterious new "pkgbase" term. --MCV.
