Comment 1 Alastair Hogge 2026-08-14 06:23:07 UTC 
I am not able to find the cause of this. I have git bisect'ed ${SRC} from the last working copy to main, and every build fails the same way. I then tried it with ${PORTS}, same error. So I decided to build on my desktop using the ${SRC} and ${PORTS} pkg, it failed in the same way. It also failed if I used ${SRC} and ${PORTS} at main.

It is a shame that release.sh has become even more fragile since the intro of pkgbase. I remember when it was contributed to ${SRC}, I think back in 8.x or 9.x, it was a source of much rejoicing, mostly because make release never worked for me, and moving to a single build machine for the entire home lab was a huge progression in efficiency. I was very excited about pkgbase, I know it is a great source of division within the FreeBSD community, however I always wanted to be on the side of supporting it. But this is now just a major de-motivator. I see the Project is able to supply updated pkgbase packages and I do not know how that is done.
