+=== Containers and FreeBSD: Cloud Native Buildpacks

+
+link:https://buildpacks.io/[Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNBs)] transform application source code into container images.
+Those images can run on any cloud.
+With buildpacks, organizations can concentrate the knowledge of container build best practices within a specialized team, instead of having application developers across the organization individually maintain their own Dockerfiles.
+
+Since the last report in 2025Q1, the project has transitioned from experimental support to official binary availability:
+
+* Both the primary CLI tool `pack` and the core `lifecycle` component now ship FreeBSD binaries with every new upstream release.
+* A new port for the CLI, `sysutils/pack`, has been submitted (link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292952[PR 292952]).
+  This will allow users to install the tool via `pkg install pack` once committed.
+* The official link:https://github.com/buildpacks/samples[buildpacks/samples repository] now includes a Work-In-Progress pull request (link:https://github.com/buildpacks/samples/pull/201[PR #201]) for FreeBSD.
+
+The next steps focus on lowering the barrier to entry for developers and improving the automation of the FreeBSD build path:
+
+* Seek a FreeBSD ports commiter to review and land the link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292952[new port sysutils/pack] into the ports tree.
+* Address a link:https://github.com/buildpacks/pack/issues/2546[known issue] in `pack builder create` where the tool incorrectly attempts to use non-FreeBSD URLs for certain binary downloads.
+* Investigate creating link:https://paketo.io[Paketo-style buildpacks] specifically for FreeBSD.
+  This would provide 'zero-config' builds for popular languages (e.g., Go) that produce FreeBSD-native binaries within containers.
