Been seeing this ports/ error since since yesterday morning. Updates to the src/ tree are working at least but, does anyone know what's wrong with git.freebsd.org/ports.git (aka gitmir.geo.freebsd.org)?

This is happening to me too, and others. Here are some links I've been checking regarding it: FreeBSD Forums: gitup: process_command: read failure Bugzilla: 295065, 295066, and 295067 FreeBSD Hackers mailing list: gitup failure The FreeBSD Hackers link is to the top email in the thread. Unfortunately I don't know see any way to easily navigate a thread (like, I don't see a "Next in Thread" link). I've been occasionally checking the May 2026 by-thread archive and just manually checking the links to individual messages in the thread. I don't really understand why there are three separate Bugzilla reports. They're all by the same person, who is also the person who started the thread in the FreeBSD Hackers mailing list. He gave an explanation in the FreeBSD Forums thread, but it was pretty terse and I get the feeling that I might have misinterpreted it. To be clear, there is currently (well, last I checked) nothing in any of these things I linked to that seems particularly useful in a direct way to end users who are having the issue; just reports that it's happening. But I imagine that eventually something will get to one or more of these. On 5/7/2026 12:44 AM, [email protected] wrote: I successfully used port net/gitup to update ports tree. Suddenly it began to fail.
