Some extracts …

> ports/local-distfiles/

– I can guess why both URLs are 403 forbidden, an explanation (forewarning)
will be smart.

<https://download.freebsd.org/releases/README.TXT>
> … target architecture:
>
> amd64/amd64 Intel/AMD x86_64 (64-bit)
> i386/i386 Intel/AMD x86 (32-bit)

> powerpc/powerpc 32-bit PowerPC
> powerpc/powerpc64 64-bit PowerPC
> sparc64/sparc64 Sparc64
– is aarch64 missing from this table? Compare with e.g.
<https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/>
> http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html#MIRRORS-CDROM
– redirects to
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/mirrors/#MIRRORS-CDROM>, a
non-existent anchor.
