Hi All,

So I've been working on the Third Assignment, and I've been having 
issues with the FreeBSD instance. I can't get "pkg" to install either 
through its own bootstrap process, or through using 'pkg-static' to 
install it. They complain about the FreeBSD Repository containing 
packages for the wrong Operating System version. Additionally, I also 
used the "Portsnap" utility to download the Ports to see if I could 
build "pkg" from the ports. However, when I attempted to build "pkg" I 
got a warning that has to be manually overridden that was akin to (Since 
I no longer have access to the message) the Operating System is no 
longer supported by the Ports system and nothing is guaranteed to build. 
After looking up online, it appears as though the FreeBSD version we are 
running, 10.1, is officially End of Life and No Longer Supported and has 
been so Since December 31, 2016. With this being said, how should I 
proceed from this?

Regards,
Matthew Mahoney
