This way of handling things for snapshot build attempts is not specific to aarch64 nor is it new. To my knowledge, the logs from the snapshot build attempts are not publicly available (working or failed) and I've never seen announcements about missing (likely: failed) snapshot builds, such as when powerpc64 or powerpc builds were not working over the years. Also, with all 3-stables+main active at once now (11.4, 12.2, 13.0, 14.0) there may be a resource limitation on trying to build all the variants for each. The ones requiring U-Boot or more in addition may contribute more to the resource use as well. In general, I'm not aware of any claims that snapshot builds have any guarantees about availability. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
