Re: `poudriere -b latest` on 15.0-RELEASE: Not fetching as remote repository is unavailable.

Your log says:

"Unable to update repository FreeBSD".

I got a related (but different) problem after upgrading to 15.0. I 
figured out that it looks like the repository "FreeBSD" has been deleted 
and replaced in 15.0 with two separate ones, "FreeBSD-ports" and 
"FreeBSD-ports-kmods".

In my case, the immediate issue was that my custom settings in 
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf to disable FreeBSD (I use a local 
repository instead) were ignored, since FreeBSD no longer exists, and 
the newly-updated default settings in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf say that 
both FreeBSD-ports and FreeBSD-ports-kmods should be enabled. So if I 
asked "pkg install" for a package that wasn't in my local repository, it 
would pull it from the new repos (which I did not want it to do) rather 
than just informing me that the package wasn't in the repo.

I feel like this seems like something that perhaps should have been 
mentioned in "pkg updating"  (or some such place), by the way.
