Hello,

I'm writing about an issue with package updates for powerpc64. powerpc64 package builder, pylon, still builds packages, both for stable/12 and head (can be checked at http://pylon.nyi.freebsd.org), but there are no package updates published.

This issue seems about package mirrors, not about the package builder itself, because pylon is still building.

E.g. ports-mgmt/pkg is at 1.14.7, which was committed on 18 Aug 2020 08:23:44 to the ports tree.
1.15.0 was committed on 07 Sep 2020 10:02:02, so the available packages must be from about 2nd half of August / 1st week of September, even though there were several package builds since then (both for stable/12 and head).

Can this issue be fixed so that powerpc64 can get new packages without resorting to building on their own?

Thanks,
Piotr Kubaj.
