[-- Attachment #1 --] Vermaden, Very useful script! Thx. Also, I noticed that your custom.conf contains "release/15" instead of "releng/15" as a source branch. I'm confident you're aware there is no "release/15" branch on the git repo so you probably just added it subconsciously. It happens when working with FreeBSD (it always tends to push you beyond the limits).
