Hi, I noticed that ARM64 packages take a few days longer to build and become available on the official FreeBSD servers compared to AMD64 and i386. For example, last Monday, Mat committed the Bind 9.2 (dns/bind920) update to 9.20.5 in the quarterly branch, which has two security fixes. This update was available on amd64 and i386 2 days later. It's still not available (after 7 days) for ARM64. Could we prioritize building packages with security updates, especially for the quarterly branch? Is anyone aware of any initiatives to improve this process? PS: I’m aware that I can set up my own package build infrastructure using Poudriere and am considering it as a fallback option. However, I’d like to explore whether we can improve the process for everyone. Regards, Diego Linke
