Hi Adrian,

A quick answer: Installed yesterday

uname -a
FreeBSD op5p_16 16.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT #0 main-n289479-a6deeaa2fb3b: Mon Sep 21 12:52:06 UTC 2026     root@releng3.nyi.freebsd.org mailto:root@releng3.nyi.freebsd.org :/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC arm64

and same issue:

Cloning into '/usr/tools'...                                                                                                                                             
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/opnsense/tools.git/': Resolving timed out after 300032 milliseconds

I got errors building pkg from opnsense ports, both 2.8.4 and 2.3.1 (as last try). I had to use pkg from pkg repo on 16-current.

My plan was to try 14.3 (again) and 14.5. Will it help?

thanks,

matheus

After some time and tests, I got to figure that ARM64 was not enough to trigger it, it has to be on OP5P here. I tried more then 3 times on the OP5P and more than 3 elsewhere.
