I have a third party provided binary package. I can install it via "sudo pkg add ./splunkforwarder-10.0.0-ea5bfadeac3a-freebsd14-amd64.txz" - I want to include that in my poudriere created package repo. I seem to recall a repo command, but I'm looking, not finding. I also recall asking a similar question.

Follow-up, should you care. Reinstalling the server with #FreeBSD 14.3 and replicating the bhyve VM and ZFS storage, the USB disk also falls asleep and breaks the ZFS pool. According to this and that, it feels like "don´t use ZFS on USB drive, idiot"... :-/
That said, I also learned that FreeBSD can install and run on the sdcard when OmniOS doesn´t even sees it. And power consumption looks like 2W better (less) on FreeBSD.

KDE Plasma 6 On Wayland Can Work Fine On FreeBSD - Phoronix
｢ The steps involve ensuring you are using the drm-kmod kernel graphics driver support, enabling the AMDGPU kernel graphics driver for AMD Radeon graphics, booting with D-Bus and seatd support enabled, and some other minor modifications ｣
www.phoronix.comKDE Plasma 6 On Wayland Can Work Fine On FreeBSDWhile the BSDs don't see nearly as much activity around Wayland as the desktop Linux distributions and they continue to predominantly rely on the X.Org Server by default, the modern KDE Plasma 6 desktop can in fact work fine on Wayland under FreeBSD 14 and the upcoming FreeBSD 15.0 release.
One more FreeBSD centric update for the road, you can now explicitly synchronize pkg repositories, provided you configure sudo policies for it.

KDE Plasma 6 on FreeBSD using Wayland
This year, 2025, the KDE Community held its yearly conference in Berlin, Germany. On the way I reinstalled FreeBSD on my Frame.work 13 laptop in another attempt to get KDE Plasma 6 Wayland working. Short story: yes, KDE Plasma 6 Wayland on FreeBSD works.

@ricardo @stefano @glitzersachen Yes, but I've been in the world where an OS was, "what I wanted," and then it wasn't, due to populism.
I'm old, I'm tired of the dumbassery. #FreeBSD's simplicity is what I want. I can build on that.
I don't want to have to deal with another decade of failed UI/UX theory because popular thought dictates that _this_ time, we got usability right.
