                base-url:  https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/master/x86_64/current
                identifier: tag:haiku-os.org,2001:repositories/haiku/master/x86_64

Switch from beta4 to nightly (this works on 32bit and 64bit):

pkgman drop-repo Haiku
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/master/$(getarch)/current
pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/$(getarch)/current

Switch from nightly to beta4 (this works on 32bit and 64bit):

pkgman drop-repo Haiku
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/r1beta4/$(getarch)/current
pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/r1beta4/$(getarch)/current

Troubleshooting: nightlies tend to brake sometimes, reverting to a previous state is easy with:

pkgman install /system/packages/administrative/{date}/*.hpkg
