            Bug ID: 245291
           Summary: Add officially documented method of changing from pkg
                    repo branch from quarterly to latest
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: judahrichardson at gmail.com

The above currently does not exist, leaving hapless users to attempt to figure
it out themselves:
https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/fg7598/pkg_removes_firefox_on_update_help_freebsd/fkagx8m/.
Also the instructions in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf are unclear. They appear to
indicate the user should create a separate file elsewhere and edit that, but
editing it directly apparently works too.
