https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy18/build.html?mastername=main-amd64-default&build=p98b748365fe6_sc6778f3a442

shows that a special build of main-amd64-default (latest) has
happened as a part of dealing with changes associated with
15.0-PRERLEASE status.

It is a from-scratch build that has established:

Host OSVERSION: 1500061
Jail OSVERSION: 1500061

which is after some library .so.* version number changes.
Prior to this build, the distributed pkg builds were too old
for main-amd64's 15.0-PRERELEASE .

Only 40 packages were explicitly listed/requested and those
lead to only 519 packages being built. beefy18 is the system
used for main-amd64 port-package builds.

beefy 18 has been taking 260 Hrs to 270 Hrs to build a full
set of packages. Getting copies to the distribution servers
around the world is a separate step I do not have time
frames for.

So: around 11+ days --once beefy18's full/normal builds are
started-- before a full set of port-packages will be
available.
