FreeBSD The Power to Serve

Automatic pkgbase conversion tool

Contact: Isaac Freund <ifreund@freebsdfoundation.org>

The new pkgbasify tool automatically converts an existing FreeBSD 14+ system to use pkgbase.

I’ve done my best to make pkgbasify as robust as possible and currently believe it to be as reliable as manual conversion if not better.

That said, pkgbasify could use testing on more diverse systems! See the README for usage instructions and details on pkgbasify’s behavior.
