The page title is "Chapter 26. Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD". Which I think should include upgrading packages. pkg upgrade is mentioned in passing but I think it should be explicitly mentioned along with pkg update.

since pkgbase is in 15-CURRENT, perhaps mention using that to upgrade the base OS?

I'm unfamiliar with pkgbase unfortunately.

Interesting. Not sure how I missed that. Thank you for linking it!

I noticed the section does not mention pkg update. Do you know if it is performed implicitly, or periodically, by pkg upgrade?
