Solved CURRENT-14 now stable-14 or current-15?

the $ABI for current-14 now no longer works for pkg. What is put in Freebsd.conf
to have a STABLE-14 working when the uname shows a nonexistant current-14 and maybe the latter fact means no $ABI is possible? Anyone with a working example? Not a question for those not "upgrading" from CURRENT to STABLE with the recent branching...
BTW I think the answer should be put in both "man pkg" and the handbook... if not even
in /usr/ports/UPDATING
...
or an ENV variable to set on the command line to inform pkg
what the ABI is? and if so, go for STABLE-14 or CURRENT-15 ???

Code: 
ABI: string      The ABI of the package you want to install.
                     E.g.,`FreeBSD:14:amd64'.
or
pkg -o ABI=FreeBSD:14:amd64 ...

Thanks! However, no combination I try seems to work. This however seems promising.
/usr/src
is on *main* and a quick search does not find the git command
to switch it to releng as suggested above...
 
Just install git (git-tiny should do), remove your existing /usr/src and simply checkout the source.
 
I had to change pkg+http to http in /etc/FreeBSD.conf
within which, and at the command line at first to bootstrap, as
suggested above,

..... also .....
I replaced $ABI with FreeBSD:14:amd64
[ and renamed the same file in /usr/local/etc
to be irrelevant ]
....
this allowed pkg-static, at least, to proceed.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
