For those unfamiliar with where some information can be found:

Some detailed information is available via the link under
"Build" on each of the pages:

140amd64-quarterly:	https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy21/ <https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy2/>
140-i386-quarterly:	https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy21/ <https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy2/>
140amd64-default:	https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy22/

These show the active poudriere bulk run (if any) or the most
recent otherwise. The notation works for both ipv4 and ipv6
contexts.

It is unfortunate that the following each give no clue about
the general time order of the builds listed:

140amd64-quarterly:	https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy21/jail.html?mastername=140amd64-quarterly
140-i386-quarterly:	https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy21/jail.html?mastername=140i386-default
140amd64-default:	https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/beefy22/jail.html?mastername=140amd64-default

So far, the yellow highlighted one seems to be the most
recently completed one.

There can be one or more failed "parallel_build:" status
rows that will not progress beyond that status.

The rest of the "done:" are not set up for having a time
order presentation or indication.

That is one of the reasons that getting the likes of

https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/?all=1&type=package

working for the beefy2[012] systems as well would help:
it can show a time ordering. (That happens to be start
time based.)


I'll note that these machines are not at nyi.freebsd.org .
They are instead at chi.freebsd.org (ipv6 specific URLs as
I understand):

140amd64-quarterly:	http://beefy20.chi.freebsd.org/
140-i386-quarterly:	http://beefy21.chi.freebsd.org/
140amd64-default:	http://beefy22.chi.freebsd.org/

Note: https://portsfallout.com/server has the incorrect
       nyi.freebsd.org based naming for these 3 so far,
       which does not work when attempted.
