Thanks for your update!
Could confirm distfiles are fetchable.

I can prepare the patch for graphics/nvidia-drm-510.kmod and
graphics/nvidia-drm-515-kmod, but cannot even try building for now, as I'm
waiting for ABIs of LinuxKPI affecting graphics/drm-*-kmod ports to be
stabilized enough.

Why I'm waiting is that many times, at past, I saw timeframes
graphics/drm-*-kmod stop working, even worse, failing to build after LinuxKPI
updates until graphics/drm-*-kmod ports successfully chase che change. I don't
want such a unfortunate timeframe, as I almost never experienced such a
situation on x11/nvidia-driver.

So, my question is, how do you think about the stability of LinuxKPI ABI/API?
Do you consider it stable enough?

For a while, I didn't see the problematic timeframes on MLs and Forums.
Yes, there are some screams, but later it turned out that they are using
official pkg, instead of building from ports for actual kernels they are using.
But I still am not enouch sure it is really OK for now.

Another reason I cannot test for now is because my poudriere jail is too busy
to rebuild everythin I've installed as of recent stable/14 bump. ;-)
Thousands of ports are still waiting to be rebuilt.
