Note: General port-package builds being suspended makes sense to me for the resources available. I'm not suggesting for that to change. But pkg is rather special and became so for a wider range of usage with pkgbase. The details freshports reports for armv7 pkg versions: FreeBSD:16:latest : "-" FreeBSD:15:quarterly : "-" FreeBSD:15:latest : 2.2.2 FreeBSD:14:latest : 2.2.2 FreeBSD:14:quarterly : 2.2.2 FreeBSD:13:quarterly : 2.2.2 FreeBSD:13:latest : 2.3.1 Can there be a way (other than local port-package source builds) to have armv7 keep up with pkg updates for its pkgbase usage for armv7? If not, mentioning the requirement for armv7 pkg source based builds might cut down on support requests some. Note: The question is about general use, not mine: I already build my own port-packages (amd64, aarch64, armv7), including for pkg . Note: I've less context for them, but: FreeBSD:14:latest 1.19.1_1 : powerpc64le, 32-bit powerpc FreeBSD:14:quarterly 1.20.9 : powerpc64, powerpc64le, 32-bit powerpc FreeBSD:15:latest 1.20.9_1 : powerpc64, powerpc64le (n/a or "-" for the other powerpc* ABI combinations) The audience for powerpc* is likely rather different overall. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
