Description Duane 2024-04-02 00:30:29 UTC 
Attempting to create a netgraph based switch results in an error that 'switch::netgraph:create' cannot be found.

This bug was fixed ~18 months ago in this commit: https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/commit/532a86d685576b6623017e08801cb36a00f743ac

However, a new release has not been made in nearly 2 years.

Given the stability of the project now maybe it is OK to retire the -devel version and just track the repo in the standard release now?

Good point. Another problem is vm-bhyve misleading about qemu-tools (package got renamed) and it is also fixed in -devel branch. 
I also strongly encourage you to test and give feedback about my pull request removing dependency on genisoimage[1].
