I have checked over at joomla.org and my view is supported, read https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=706&t=962183 "I had a read of the freebsd messages and you are correct it is completely wrong to use that archive in this use case. You are correct that the correct package is the release one" I suspect that the way the port is set up now can lead to serious security issues for unknowing users. After looking around at Github I think it should not be too difficult to fetch https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/releases/download/3.8.7/Joomla_3.8.7-Stable-Full_Package.zip instead of https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/archive/3.8.7.zip For the "devel" discussion that followed in this thread I leave that to the folks who know better but it is now quite clear that the port is not suited for its intended purpose in its current state. Thanks, //per
