Get the latest version and timely security patches in FreeBSD

In order to get the latest version and timely security patches it may be necessary to switch to 'latest' instead of 'quarterly' packages.

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos

vi /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

# add the following to FreeBSD.conf:
FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest"
}

pkg upgrade
