https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291806 --- Comment #13 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-fbsd@yahoo.com> --- (In reply to Vick Khera from comment #12) The RelEng team had and have little or nothing to do with pkgbase for 14.*, including for 14.3-RELEASE as far as I can tell. 15.0 is the first that they support and they will support 15+ --but not any 14.*-RELEASE or before if I understand right: pkgbase stays experimental for 14.* --including future 14.* releases. That, of itself, is sufficient for pkgbase use with 14.* to be experimental. There are other reasons as well. Think of pkgbase for 14.* as the alpha/beta test version and pkgbase for 15.*'s technology preview(s) (as long as such a status lasts) as the release candidates for the pkgbase infrastructure, including its use for official releases. As for finding the 14.* kernels, that is easy: unlike official 15.0-RELEASE pkgbase, 14.*-RELEASE's pkgbase package files are explorable via https://pkg.freebsd.org/ : 14.3: https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/base_release_3/ https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:i386/base_release_3/ 14.2: https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/base_release_2/ https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:i386/base_release_2/ 14.1: https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/base_release_1/ https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:i386/base_release_1/ 14.0: https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/base_release_0/ https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:i386/base_release_0/ All of those include FreeBSD-kernel-minimal*.pkg files but none of that is via RelEng activity or their ways of working for making releases. All of the above were built much like pkgbase 14.*-STABLE is built and by the same person. If you looks in other: https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:*/base_release_*/ you will not find any FreeBSD-kernel-minimal*.pkg files last I knew special to amd64 (and its related i386). Note: One has to use pkg commands to explore what pkgbase files exist for 15.0-RELEASE, as far as I know. And for that to produce current information, one has to have implicitly or explicitly done a recent "pkg update" (not necessarily involving a pkg upgrade) with FreeBSD-base (or the older name) Enabled instead of disabled. (That explains why my examples with .snap202601* files names have somewhat older dates: FreeBSD-base was disabled and so the information stayed at the older values.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
