These are the instructions for pkgbase? https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase just relate it to 12.0 releng, instead of head.
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf
Then, I still need mergemaster, or etcupdate(8).
Then, I would use pkg for the base as for ports?
And there's more information for multiple kernel packages, and for upgrading.
This wouldn't save time, compared to what I did before, with the exception of removing trial and error. But at least, it would be able to put packages back in, if I was still learning what was essential for my system.
Also, I suspect that I can use src.conf the same way as before, to prevent having to build what I know I don't want, based on past trial and error.
