FreeBSD has two repositories of packages, quarterly and latest.

    $ cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
    FreeBSD: { enabled: no } # disable the default config
    FreeBSD-latest: {
    url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
    #url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
    mirror_type: "srv",
    signature_type: "fingerprints",
    fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
    enabled: yes
    }

I'm aware of the Latest branch, but its shorter release cycle would be even less-suited for production usage (for people who are into Very Serious Business™).

I was talking about Quarterly since it seems to the most stable way to get packages not in the base system.
