[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Andrea, Short answer: the port is going to move to Salt 3008. There's no maintainable way to keep 3006 alive on 3.12+, the breakage is the vendored Tornado calling ssl.match_hostname(), which was removed in Python 3.12, and upstream only fixed that in 3007. So 3006 is a dead end and I don't want to carry it indefinitely. That said, until the 3008 port lands you can keep building 3006 on Python 3.11 in Poudriere. The BROKEN marker is keyed on PYTHON_REL >= 31200, so building against 3.11 sidesteps it. Scope it to a dedicated set so only that set drops to 3.11 lang/python311 is still in the tree on 2026Q3, so the dependency chain resolves. Treat this as a bridge, not a permanent solution. Now the part you should know before you rely on 3008, because it affects FreeBSD users specifically: 3008 moved a bunch of modules out into separate salt-extensions. The zfs state is gone (moved to saltext-zfs), and sysrc/freebsdservice currently have no upstream home at all, saltext-freebsd doesn't exist yet. Alan and Fabian already hit the missing ZFS state in testing, and Delta had to vendor the old extensions by hand. So if your setup leans on ZFS states or FreeBSD service/sysrc management, plan for that gap. There's a working 3008.1 patch attached to the PR (#296290). Since you said you depend on Salt on FreeBSD and are willing to help, testing that patch against your own states would be genuinely useful, especially anything touching zfs/sysrc/service. That's exactly the feedback that'll tell me whether an in-place 3008 update is enough or whether we need to sort out the FreeBSD extensions first. K.
