Thanks Philip,

Aarch64 packages for linux-c7-* are being build now! I like this a lot.

One more question.
Do you know why the arm64 package builds are not registered on https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/builds?type=package anymore?

Because the pkg-status page has a nice way to compare two builds and spot regression (or progression).
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/builds/default:default:main-arm64:pbd2412a3b974_sac678b4aaf:ampere2

Regards,
Ronald.
