Does that mean that the default: pkg+https://pkgbase.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:armv7/base_release_0/ (or whatever the details) will not work? Will that be documented/handled someplace? Will armv7 folks wanting to try pkgbase need to cause the use of the likes of: pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:armv7/base_release_0/ instead? (kmods_latest_0 and kmodes_quarterly_0 too.) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
Hi Mark, This point doesn't fix your pkgbase issue, but mind that armv7 never had the "legacy" distribution sets (like base.txz, kernel.txz) either. This directory https://download.freebsd.org/releases/arm64/aarch64/13.5-RELEASE/ is not available for armv7 https://download.freebsd.org/releases/arm/armv7/. So it is not really a regression. It is more that having the distribution set/pkgbase build would be a new feature for armv7 releases. BTW: in Jenkins the base.txz is generated so the building blocks are in place somewhere. Although I can't find pkgbase artifacts. https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/16.0-CURRENT/latest/arm/armv7/ Regards, Ronald.
