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.
