Note: FreeBSD 16.0/16.0-aarch64 confs are kept on disk but not yet opted into the build matrix -- 16.0 is a CURRENT snapshot (16.0-CURRENT), not a stable release (VM_VHD_LINK=".../snapshots/VM-IMAGES/16.0-CURRENT/..."), and has never had a table row at HEAD (verified against git show HEAD:.github/data/table.md), so it is shelved rather than no-build. Delete the two shelved: lines above to enable it once 16.0 stabilizes.

How to build:

1. Use the manual.yml to build manually.

   Run the workflow manually, you will get a view-only webconsole from the output of the workflow, just open the link in your web browser.

   You will also get an interactive VNC connection port from the output, you can connect to the vm by any vnc client.

2. Run the builder locally on your Ubuntu machine.

   Just clone the repo. and run:

   python3 build.py conf/freebsd-16.0.conf

Footnotes

1. The upstream 13.4 riscv64 qcow2.xz on the FreeBSD archive mirror is a broken 32-byte stub rather than a real disk image, so this target cannot be built. ↩

2. riscv64 first became a FreeBSD release architecture in 13.0, so there is no 12.4 riscv64 image to build. ↩

3. FreeBSD 12.x powerpc64 panics in early boot under QEMU pseries -- its PAPR hash-MMU backend hard-requires 16 MiB large pages, which QEMU advertises only when guest RAM is backed by host huge pages. Reworked in FreeBSD 13.0, so 13.2+ powerpc64 build fine; 12.4 (EOL) is dropped. ↩
