This is an issue for main/ [so: 16] and stable/15/ and the releng/15.*/ (future examples included). https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:i386/latest/ has not been updated since around 2025-Sep-12 07:04 as far as I can tell. It will be emptied or deleted at some point as I understand. FreeBSD 15.* will not be building or distributing any port-packages long term. There is no: https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:i386/quarterly/ All of https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:i386/ will be emptied or deleted as well: FreeBSD 15.* will not be building or distributing base-packages long term either. https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:i386/ is the last for such for as much of a long term as 14.* has. https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:16:i386/ does not exist and will not exist as I understand. wine would need a different way of building and installing i386 support that no longer depends on FreeBSD:1[5-9]:i386 port packages being built and distributed separately for i386, for example. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
