Sort of. The pkgbase repos are built as part of the process of building installer images, which we don't do for armv7; all we provide for armv7 is a single embedded image.
Does that mean that the default:
pkg+https://pkgbase.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:armv7/base_release_0/
(or whatever the details) will not work? Will that be
documented/handled someplace?
Will armv7 folks wanting to try pkgbase need to cause the use of
the likes of:
pkg+https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:armv7/base_release_0/
instead? (kmods_latest_0 and kmodes_quarterly_0 too.)

Hi Mark,
This point doesn't fix your pkgbase issue, but mind that armv7 never had the "legacy" distribution sets (like base.txz, kernel.txz) either.
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.

Regards,
Ronald.
