I started running short on disk space for the non-production FreshPorts hosts. This time, I have decided to ask for donations. See my recent blog post which points to my Patreon account.
Server is being updated to FreeBSD 14.3 as you read this... and it is done.
Commit processing is stalled - it is a jail issue. I will work on it later today. 2025-09-17 12:17 UTC - It has been fixed. Sometime before 17:27 UTC.
