This directory https://download.freebsd.org/releases/arm64/aarch64/13.5-RELEASE/ is not available for armv7 https://download.freebsd.org/releases/arm/armv7/. So it is not really a regression. It is more that having the distribution set/pkgbase build would be a new feature for armv7 releases. BTW: in Jenkins the base.txz is generated so the building blocks are in place somewhere. Although I can't find pkgbase artifacts. https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/16.0-CURRENT/latest/arm/armv7/ Regards, Ronald.
