Is the lack of the following expected to
be an on-going status for 13.*-STABLE
snapshot builds?

aarch64 RPI
aarch64 PINE64
aarch64 PINE64-LTS
aarch64 PINEBOOK
aarch64 ROCK64
aarch64 ROCKPRO64


Also, because old snapshot images are deleted even
when there there is no new replacement for the type
of snapshot, it has been some time since there have
been any snapshot images for the above 6. It might
be appropriate to delete the oldest image only when
there is a newer one to be added, there by leaving
some vintage of snapshot available, even if it is
older.


Hmm, looking, it does appear that:

http://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm64/13.1-STABLE/

does have the .txz material for the latest snapshot
build attempt. So may be there is just an issue with
producing .img files for Small Board Computers after
FreeBSD is built or with building the involved ports
providing the extra material involved. (These involve
U-Boot and some involve other things as well.)
