Here’s some tooling I use to fetch the git commit of the most recent package build: https://patmaddox.com/info?name=fba4b4491f48d81ffbe7f4304d3dd17797ec47dd7829bddec327422d4c6f346f&ln=16-23

That helps poudriere’s package fetching by ensuring my local tree is consistent with the latest build and doesn’t have newer stuff.

You can get build metadata from the API e.g. https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/api/1/builds?type=package&jailname=132amd64

I haven’t seen API documentation, I worked out query params by looking at the implementation: https://github.com/bdrewery/pkg-status.freebsd.org/blob/master/pkgstatus.py
