<para>For each build during the release cycle, the
<literal>MANIFEST</literal> files containing the
<literal>SHA256</literal> of the various distribution sets, such
as <literal>base.txz</literal>, <literal>kernel.txz</literal>,
and so on, are added to the
<package>misc/freebsd-release-manifests</package> port. This
allows utilities other than &man.bsdinstall.8;, such as
<package>ports-mgmt/poudriere</package>, to safely use these
distribution sets by providing a mechanism through which the
checksums can be verified.</para>
