For ports main branch:

Sun, 07 Dec 2025:

   • git: b3058e362102 - main - devel/base64: Add base64 0.5.2 Po-Chuan Hsieh
. . .
   • git: 077d9ba380e5 - main - www/py-requests-kerberos: Add py-requests-kerberos 0.15.0 Po-Chuan Hsieh

devel/base64 created a second port with the same PKGNAME as long
used by converters/base64 . (The content was not a duplicate.)

www/py-requests-kerberos created a duplicate of 
security/py-requests-kerberos (including the PKGNAME).

The fixes are recent:

Wed, 17 Dec 2025

   • git: d773ece5bc68 - main - www/py-requests-kerberos: Remove duplicate port Po-Chuan Hsieh
   • git: f554dcbcf289 - main - devel/base64: Change PKGNAME to avoid conflict with converters/base64 Po-Chuan Hsieh


So, for around 10 days a couple of PKGNAME's were not unique in
the ports tree: the ports tree itself was the problem.


Note:

729666 does not seem to be a commit hash prefix from the main
branch. It is not handy to figure out what commit corresponds
to a "--first-parent --count for merge-base" number, if that
is what it is. dev-commits-ports-main and the likes of
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/log/ are not set up for lookups
based on such. If it is such a number, an "n" prefix might be
appropriate.
