upgrading from previous 15.0 alphas with "pkg upgrade" is supported and should work fine; if not, that's a bug. however, do read UPDATING as there were quite a few changes to pkgbase during the 15.0 release cycle. the pkg.f.o packages are currently built twice a day, so if ALPHA4 isn't available there yet, it will be shortly. what's not supported is upgrading to 15.0 (from any release) using freebsd-update(8), due to a bug that can install libraries in the wrong order and leave the system broken. this will be fixed in a later alpha release. (actually, i thought the fix was in ALPHA4, but possibly it didn't make it or hasn't received enough testing yet.)
