            Bug ID: 292800
           Summary: contents of 12.1-RELEASE base.txz for powerpc are
                    wrong
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Website
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: pkubaj@FreeBSD.org

I tried to create a 12.1-RELEASE powerpc jail on poudriere for testing using -m
ftp-archive. It downloaded
http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/powerpc/12.1-RELEASE/base.txz,
however plain chrooting to that directory just segfaults on my system. It turns
out the contents are the same as
http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/powerpc/powerpcspe/12.1-RELEASE/base.txz,
but
http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/powerpc/powerpc/12.1-RELEASE/base.txz
should be used.

I'm not sure how many other releases are affected.
