Mmmm "in a few days" is not so true. It takes about 5-7 days to build all  
packages for one FreeBSD version on ARM64. So it takes about 2-3 weeks to  
do a full build for head, 12.x and 11.x. You are unlucky if your version  
builds last. :-)

Last full build for head:
http://thunderx1.nyi.freebsd.org/build.html?mastername=head-arm64-default&build=p519639_s355573
All current arm64 builds:

Ronald.
