Hi,
The policy (as I last read it) is to build packages on the oldest supported=
version of a branch. A newer FreeBSD version (12.4) is assumed to be backw=
ards compatible with an older FreeBSD version (12.3) so pkgs build on 12.3 =
should run on 12.4. FreeBSD 12.3 is not expected to be forwards compatible =
with 12.4 as you can't predict the future changes. So packages build on 12.=
4 are not promised to work on 12.3.
12.3 goes end-of-life around March 5th, 2023, see: https://www.freebsd.org/=
security/#sup
So around that date the package building will be run on 12.4.
There have been discussions about starting to build packages on a new FreeB=
SD version earlier but that did not happen yet. I don't know what the reaso=
ns are.
The tools are available to setup your own FreeBSD 12.4 and build packages f=
or it.
