Yes. I said we should provide pkgbase sets for armv7. I didn't volunteer to

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.

We should fix that, but 15.1R. There's lots of good reasons to have th=

15.1-BETA1 aarch64 Radxa Zero 3W ? ---> I miss you.

I put a lot of work into improving FreeBSD for the Radxa Zero 3W,since I
chose it as the main OS for the phone that I'm building. Before me some experienced developers did the same. So,maybe it deserves to be added to
the list...what should be done to maintain it ?

15.1-BETA1 aarch64 Radxa Zero 3W ? ---> I miss you.

I put a lot of work into improving FreeBSD for the Radxa Zero 3W,since I chose it as the main OS for the phone that I'm building. Before me some experienced developers did the same. So,maybe it deserves to be added to
the list...what should be done to maintain it ?

Yes. I said we should provide pkgbase sets for armv7. I didn't volunteer
to do the work
to make it happen.

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 fo=

r

armv7 is
a single embedded image.

We should fix that, but 15.1R. There's lots of good reasons to have

this

be regular.
