Porting OBuilder to FreeBSD
Tarides successfully integrated FreeBSD support into OBuilder's architecture, enhancing OCaml CI for FreeBSD through tailored Fetcher and Sandbox modules.

RE: #FreeBSD

Updated the codeberg.org/thesaigoneer/freebsd-mangowc repo. Still a lot to do, but at least the most relevant things are there, including the mango configs itself 😆 Also the sw selection has been amended, including yazi and foot now.

I think this is negligible, not worth reporting as an issue. @… do you agree?
Thanks

Also, I trust the Senior Director of Technology for The FreeBSD Foundation to do what's appropriate in extreme cases such as this.

– the bug is reproducible without the desktop script.

A line has been crossed, repeatedly, in the past.

pkg upgrade
– fetched, then checked integrity.
Nothing more. The checked packages were not installed.
No error.
I guess, a coincidental lock on the package database was not reported as a lock.
pkg 2.5.1, FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT, aarch64.

@… I heard the fan spin up on the host after I logged out from Plasma (X11) on a FreeBSD guest.
Pictured: excessive use of the CPU by sddm-greeter-qt6.
A separate bug, with the same underlying cause? I wonder.

FreeBSD base package downgrades in response to a forced upgrade of all packages.
I might take a closer look at the weekend, if the typescript file for the session is available.

FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p3 on ARM64 in QEMU:
― SDDM, pictured, is barely usable.
After login to Plasma (X11), resolution is limited to 800 x 600.
How can I avoid the issue with SDDM?
Host: Kubuntu 25.10, Virtual Machine Manager with Ramfb for video. Guest: non-base packages from the latest repos.
Not reproducible with FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT on ARM64 in QEMU on the same host.

@… whilst logged in with the screen locked, the issue seems to be with (or affecting) kscreenlocker_greet – installed by security/plasma6-kscreenlocker.
I wonder why I didn't notice this when I made the bug report.

<https://redd.it/1rgx8ts> … thirty-six hours later, no-one has spotted the two deliberate mistakes.
Note to self: be genuinely careless more often. Much more. Especially at weekends, when no-one's paying attention 🙃

I got most ARM64 machines working in QEMU. One exception:

Honey, I shrunk the kernel!

@… some of what's written about pkgbase is unnecessarily alarmist.
In a nutshell: you can use it for RELEASE, STABLE, and CURRENT. No need to build from source for updates.
#FreeBSD

@… can you recall how the corruption occurred?
Post-recovery, I see the absence of free space before the ESP; and the change in free space after partition 4.
