Nice article as usual mate, thank you.
I guess we all have to test this new tool at some point because pkgbase is the future for FreeBSD and 15.0 is suppose to come in December, it will be there in no time.
I really wonder how it's going to be for all existing jail managers and tools related to jails, updating(even creating?) jails will be a different procedure I suppose.
Did you experience pkgbase with jails yet?

    About my other comment below/above - its already fixed in latest version of pkgbasify(8) so you can convert Jails to PKGBASE if needed with that tool.

    I was more concerned by the upgrade of jail directly via pkgbase itself rather than the conversion since I didn't see(may be i missed it) any procedure or notes about it.
    Frankly I didn't even think what you did was possible but now that you tested it I am actually glad to know that it's working this way too, this will prevent people to rebuild all their old jails from zero.
    Well done mate thank you for the report and the demonstration.
