## Introduction
|
|
|
|
I find that the few days I have to wait before a security update that is already available through the FreeBSD latest release cycle before it is also available in quarterly to be a little stressful. I don't really care for the bleeding edge but I would rather have these security updates as soon as possible.

|
|
## How to
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
|
|
echo "FreeBSD: { enabled: no }" > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
|
|
sed -e 's/^FreeBSD:/latest:/' -e 's/quarterly/latest/' /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf > /etc/pkg/latest.conf
|
|
pkg upgrade
|
|
```
