Spun off from #161 (comment)

… All electron packages are entirely missing from pkg search …

devel/electron11

Deleted.

FreshPorts is our friend. See the gravestone icon with RIP (rest in peace) near the head of the page. The icon is clickable.

devel/electron12

https://www.freshports.org/devel/electron12/#packages packages are currently available for FreeBSD:14:amd64 and FreeBSD:13:amd64.

FreeBSD 12.2⋯

1. https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/builds?type=package&jailname=122amd64 both builds stopped:done: at the time of writing
2. http://beefy6.nyi.freebsd.org/jail.html?mastername=122amd64-default show all entries
3. http://beefy6.nyi.freebsd.org/build.html?mastername=122amd64-default&build=dd3b4f6d0e27 is currently highlighted
4. http://beefy6.nyi.freebsd.org/data/122amd64-default/dd3b4f6d0e27/logs/errors/electron12-12.0.9_2.log

FreshPorts finds just one bug, for the DIST option enabled.

At a glance, the log shows DIST=off. I'll send an e-mail to the maintainer.

Note to self: never ever think of compiling Chromium/Electron locally.

[grahamperrin]

… compiling Chromium/Electron locally …

I successfully built and packaged one, or both, at least once. It wasn't a requirement, I probably wanted to test a fix for something ahead of the package appearing in the FreeBSD repository.

• the most recent error differs from devel/electron11 and devel/electron12 #224 (comment) the previously noted error.

#224 (reply in thread)

… can we expect it to show up for FreeBSD 12 sooner or later …

See https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/builds?type=package&jailname=122amd64

I can't guess when the next runs will begin.

[grahamperrin]

It's a time-consuming build.

[probonopd]

Do I read "success" there?

[probonopd]

And can we expect it to show up for FreeBSD 12 sooner or later as well? https://www.freshports.org/devel/electron12/

Do I read "success" there?

Yes, in the 130amd64 jail.

This seems to be a systmatic issue with the Packages system:
If packages fail to build for whatever reason, the last still-working build is not preserved.
This leads to many missing packages frequently, unlike e.g., with Debian, where I never experienced this.

[grahamperrin]

Debian is not FreeBSD.

many missing packages

Here, please focus on devel/electron12

[probonopd]

OK. Do you know where to download the last built devel/electron12 (from when it was still building, if it ever was)?

[probonopd]

https://github.com/tagattie/FreeBSD-Electron/releases has it!
