Nightly and Beta2 users will need to “re-add” their release repositories to update to newer versions of Haiku and beyond. This change is part of a long-term improvement of our Haiku/HaikuPorts repository identifiers.

## Summary
The “identifier” will change from `https://hpkg....` to `tag:haiku....` for both Haiku, and HaikuPorts on nightly installs (this identifier will only change for HaikuPorts on R1/Beta2 installs) Once you see the new identifiers, you have been successfully changed over to the new repository ID.
